Chapter 253 Tide
Qiu Feng was at a loss and said at a loss: "How could it be? King Guang is working hard to suppress the snails, and the ward is also constantly receiving patients.
Although the tartar potion has some side effects, it can really kill schistosomes.
Everything is going well.”
"I said, it's useless."
Li Ang pressed his palms on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I made the tartaric medicine, how could I not know its side effects?
After taking the medicine, nearly 90% of the patients' body temperature rose,
70% of the patients suffered from loss of appetite, dizziness,
50% of the patients had cough, headache,
40% of the patients had abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea,
Twenty percent of the patients suffered from chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, joint pain,
In addition, there are liver enlargement and tenderness, chills, muscle pain, rash, itching, and overdose can even cause liver necrosis and even death. "
Potassium antimony tartrate is an emetic, the oral absorption is extremely unstable, and it is very irritating to the gastrointestinal tract.
And subcutaneous or intramuscular injection can also cause strong irritation, so it can only be injected intravenously.
During a treatment cycle,
Patient reacts violently, suffers,
That’s why it was replaced by other antimony agents, such as ethyl oxybenzene monothioacetate, and other non-antimony drugs for the treatment of schistosomiasis, such as furanamide, in the memory of the foreign world.
Qiu Feng stepped forward, put his palm on the back of Li Ang's, and stroked it gently.
As a doctor, she can understand Li Ang's mood.
Powerless sorrow,
anger at the status quo,
Confused about the future.
The young man in front of him, in the eyes of others, may be the number one scholar in the academy, the little medicine **** who can cure all diseases, the humerus of the imperial court,
But at this moment, in her eyes,
Li Ang's identity is still that young boy who stepped out of the crowd at the post station outside Chang'an City, and said that he wanted to cure Yong Hongzhong's vertigo.
Li Ang silently watched the setting sun outside the window, completely unaware of Qiu Feng approaching and the fragrance on her body, and suddenly said: ".Taihu Lake"
"Well?"
Qiu Feng came back subconsciously.
"The schistosomes in Taihu Lake are out of control."
Li Ang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tangs and weirs such as Dantang, Wutang, and North and South Xietang were built to the east of Jintan in the west.
The so-called Changshu in the east of the country is "there are twenty-four pus in the Binjiang River of Gaoxiang, which pass the tide and provide irrigation, but there is no worry about drought." '
Before the Sui Dynasty, large-scale irrigation and drainage projects were built in Runzhou, Changzhou and Suzhou.
Meng Jian, the governor of Changzhou a few years ago, opened the Mengdu River in the west of Changzhou, connected to the Yangtze River in the north, and connected to the canal in the south.
River embankments, dams, ditches, gates, fishways.
The surroundings of Taihu Lake, and even the entire Jiangnan East Road, are in a dense water network and are all affected by water conservancy projects.
Even if the schistosomiasis in one river is not wiped out, the whole Taihu Lake will suffer.”
Qiu Feng bit his lip and couldn't help but said: "But we have clearly ordered that no one is allowed to enter the lake until the snails are wiped out."
"Even if people can strictly guard against death and strictly control it, what about animals?"
Li Ang shook his head, and said bitterly: "Almost all animals are within the parasitic range of schistosomes.
As long as you touch the infected water for more than ten seconds, there is a risk of infection.
Mouse, cat, dog, rabbit, sheep, cow, pig, wolf.
They can't understand the slogans we stand up, and they will still run around in the grass and shallows, infected with schistosomes.
A cow pulling randomly in the wild can spread as much as hundreds of humans.
And those countless voles may be more numerous than fishermen and farmers.
understand?
The shoreline of Taihu Lake is more than 800 miles, and the total number of wild animals in the entire water system is like stars in the sky. Is it all killed?
How can it be.
Can't kill, and can't finish killing.
The entire Taihu Lake is like a pot of thick soup of epidemic water,
Wait for the arrival of spring plowing, open the sluices to release water, and flood the whole territory. "
Li Ang's voice was ethereal, and he stared blankly at the setting sun falling towards the mountains in the distance, as if he saw some kind of unspeakable horror in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"This, but."
Qiu Feng opened his mouth, "We can kill snails. Dig ditches, sprinkle pesticides, and mow grass. There is always a way to kill the number of snails.
Without snails, schistosomiasis has no transmission channels”
"It's just a stopgap measure."
Li Ang shook his head and said, "The fecundity of snails is far beyond imagination.
A pair of snails can produce 250,000 offspring within a year and a half.
Countless hillsides, tidal flats, haystacks, riversides,
Even if the mass extermination of human beings can kill 90% of the snails,
The remaining 10% can also make a comeback in a year or two.
Like the tide, the tide ebbs and flows.
What we are doing now is more like an emergency rescue, saving the spring plowing in Jiangnan Road. "
Qiu Feng couldn't help being silent, and Li Ang continued bitterly: "During this time, I've been using the maggot to contact Chang'an, and even asked the head of the mountain directly if there is a way to kill a specific species.
For example, some kind of first-level alienated object, such as some kind of taboo spell lost in the long river of history.
But the answer is no.
Even the Academy is unable to do this.
The strength of Yu Kingdom’s court to provide resources to Suzhou will eventually decrease.
After realizing that schistosomiasis will never be eradicated, the court officials will quickly reach a consensus,
Agree that the scope of the schistosomiasis epidemic will be limited to a smaller range that is acceptable to Yu State.
Like an ever-present sore, not unto death, but long torment.
And those farmers and fishermen who have to touch the lake water have become the group who have to pay the price. "
Li Ang raised his palm and covered his face wearily, "Hehe, little medicine king,
People here worship me, respect me, and treat me like a real medicine king, and build a shrine for me, but I can't do anything.
I know everything, I can't do anything. "
“.”
Qiu Feng looked at the tired young man in front of him, and suddenly said: "Yan Ziming, Zou Hongda, Liu Bohong, Liu Guangji, Shao Zhan, Shao Jingcai, Jiang Hongli"
She suddenly reported a series of names, and facing Li Ang's puzzled gaze, she gently placed a large stack of documents in her hand on the table.
"This is a list of some of the patients admitted to the ward in the past two months. They were riddled with parasites when they came, but now they are all still alive."
Qiu Feng stretched out his slender fingers, quickly flipped through the pages, and read the names on them, "Lin Xingye, Cui Yiyou, Jia Kui."
The list is very long. In order to track the treatment effect of the patients, the ward also registered their places of origin and addresses on the list.
Each name represents a family.
"Rising Sun, maybe the schistosomiasis is really like a tide and cannot be completely wiped out, maybe this is a protracted war with no end in sight,"
Qiu Feng put his hand on the thick roll of list, looked directly into Li Ang's eyes, and said firmly: "But everything we have done is not meaningless."
