Chapter 212: The Art of Cowpox
After meeting Li Qingzhao in a hurry, Fan Zheng led the doctors and the Luoyang Mansion to officially put into the treatment of the Luoyang epidemic
With the implementation of Fan Zheng's isolation law in Luoyang, Fang City has been blocked, and if it is usual, there will be continuous public resentment.
However, when Luoyang City was closed, a large number of civilian and medical supplies were mobilized in Luoyang City, which quickly calmed people's hearts.
At the same time, doctors played a key role in cultivating a large number of doctors in various places, and the epidemic in Luoyang was quickly and effectively controlled as doctors from all over the country came to help.
Seeing that the Luoyang epidemic was brought under control at a speed visible to the naked eye, Luoyang officials also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Fan Zheng spent money like running water, in just over ten days, the Luoyang Mansion Treasury almost bottomed out! But the effect was unexpectedly good, and Yizhuang sent donations from all over the country, so it was able to be emergency.
"Luoyang has finally passed the most difficult level!"
Fan Zheng breathed a heavy sigh of relief, Luoyang City temporarily controlled the epidemic in Luoyang, but if they wanted to quell the epidemic in March, the doctor must find a cure for the plague.
"Is there any progress in the doctor's research on the plague?" The doctor's residence, Fan Zheng asked.
Yang Jie nodded and said, "This Luoyang epidemic is pox service!" Acne service is mainly transmitted through contact and droplets, isolation methods are effective, alcohol and high temperature disinfection can kill the source of pox service, in addition, people who have been infected with pox service will no longer be sick for life. ”
Fan Zheng Zheng nodded, pox is the smallpox of later generations, according to legend, it is the epidemic brought back by the Ma Yuan general from the western expedition in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, which has been raging in the land of China for thousands of years, and every time it appears, it will cause a large number of people to die, which can be described as one of the most harmful plagues.
Yang Jie said solemnly: "What really worries me is not the people who are already sick, but the family members of the patients, these are the potential people who are infected with acne, if the family can't find a way to solve the acne in time, I'm afraid there will be more people infected with the plague." ”
The number of people infected with the plague in Luoyang City is not large, but the number of people at potential risk of infection is extremely large, and if we do not find a cure for acne as soon as possible, I am afraid that many more people will die because of the disease.
"How have doctors treated acne throughout the ages?" Fan Zheng asked.
"The king of medicine, Sun Simiao, once used the technique of human pox, which is highly respected by doctors, and the most commonly used human pox technique is the dry seedling method and the water seedling method, and the water seedling method is the safest according to the latest research of doctors." Yang Jie replied.
Fan Zheng nodded, the dry seedling method is to grind the acne scab shed by the acne patient into powder and blow it into the nostrils of the vaccinated, while the water seedling method grinds the acne scab into a fine powder, dips it on the cotton after adjusting the water, stuffs it into the nostrils of the inoculated person, and takes it out after six hours.
The last one is the most commonly used by the people.
However, Fan Zheng knows that both the water seedling method and the dry seedling method have certain risks, and although the water seedling method has a high probability of success, there are still many cases of failure.
"Doctors are going to use the water seedling method to inoculate the pox for the patient's family members to completely solve the threat of pox." Yang Jie said solemnly, according to the doctor's theory of infectious diseases, the patient's family is a high-risk group for acne, and early vaccination against human pox does have a certain risk, but it can save most people.
This was the safest way in Yang Jie's opinion, but Fan Zheng shook his head.
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "However, the human pox technique is not perfect, not only is it easy to cause death, even if the pox is successful, it will cause a large area of acne, and even the face is full of pockmarks." ”
Yang Jie sighed helplessly, compared to the risk of human pox, it is not worth mentioning compared to saving life, but everyone has luck in their hearts, and no one will risk disfigurement and life to get human pox unless it is absolutely necessary.
"The doctor already has a method for human pox, and it can be said that it is very close to defeating pox, and have you ever thought that you can avoid the epidemic for the sake of human pox?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.
Yang Jie said solemnly: "Because anyone who has had acne will not be infected again in his life." ”
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, but anyone who has had pox service will not get pox service again, this phenomenon is extremely common in medicine, many disease patients have only had it once, as long as they are cured, they will not get it again for life, Fan calls this phenomenon immunity." ”
"Immune?" Yang Jie's medical skills are skillful, and he instantly understood the concept of exemption.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Human pox surgery is the use of the concept of immunity, the weakened acne disease source actively spread to the human body, so as to achieve the immune effect in the human body, Fan has an idea, that is, if everyone is vaccinated with pox, wouldn't they be able to be immune to pox, will completely eliminate the pox plague, so that it has no chance of resurgence, the doctor defeated and eliminated the plague for the first time, and will go down in history in the future." ”
"Defeat and eradicate the plague!"
Yang Jie's breath was stagnant, if the doctor could really do this, it would be the glory of the doctor.
"It's a pity that the human pox technique is not completely anti-epidemic!" Yang Jie said regretfully.
"However, things are not without a turn for the better, Pang Jizu studied veterinary medicine and found that pox is a zoonotic disease, not only in humans, but also in cattle." Fan Zhengdao.
"Are acne zoonotic?" The doctors couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes, and the acne scabs obtained by cattle are not fatal, and even the acne marks are very rare, if we abandon human pox and adopt the method of cowpox, according to the concept of immunity, let people be infected with cowpox first, maybe we can be immune to acne." Fan Zhengzheng color road.
"Maybe this law will work?" Yang Jie said with a heartbeat.
Fan Zhengdao: "I have asked Luoyang Mansion to look for sick cattle in the city, and I believe there will be good news soon." ”
The reason why he dared to claim the March epidemic was not only the isolation method, but also the mask, and the other point is that he knew the real treatment method for acne - the method of cowpox.
The reason why Fan Zheng took great pains to get the power of Luoyang was that he wanted doctors to make adequate preparations for the fight against the epidemic, and second, he wanted to use the Luoyang epidemic to thoroughly promote the method of planting cowpox and completely kill the pox in China.
Fan Zheng controlled the power of Luoyang, and with an order, several cows suspected of being infected with acne were sent to Fan Zheng.
"A cow infected with smallpox?"
The healers were in an uproar, and immediately armed to protect themselves, and then cautiously came to the cow.
The reason why Luoyang Mansion found a cow was because only on the cow's milk room, there were a few festering pustules, indicating that the cow had been infected.
"It's a pox!" Yang Jie has been in charge of research on acne recently, and at a glance he can see that cowpox is very similar to the pox epidemic in people.
And compared to the severity of the acne on the human body, the acne on the cow is extremely mild, only a few, and I have not heard of any cow dying of cowpox.
"Cowpox is not fatal, and if a person is the first to be infected with cowpox, it is very likely that they will be directly immune to smallpox and there is no risk of disease." Fan Zheng solemnly launched the cowpox technique.
"Immunization against smallpox!" Suddenly all the healers were breathless, and if this method worked, they would put down the plague once and for all.
"But who will test the poison?" Yang Jie suddenly asked, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on the doctors, it is good to succeed, if it fails, the person infected with cowpox will definitely suffer from acne.
