"malaria?"
Chang Baicao came over in confusion.
Ning Que smiled and nodded.
At the same time, the mask he was wearing was taken off.
"Malaria is indeed a plague."
"However, it is caused by a mosquito bite."
"Uncle Chang can also go and ask the patient."
"They must have all been bitten by mosquitoes."
“So, there is no need for quarantine now.”
"We have to get rid of mosquitoes now!"
Chang Baicao frowned.
There are hundreds of patients in the isolation area.
He personally looked after each one.
It's just that he didn't look at the body carefully.
Some people did have mosquito bites on their faces.
He didn't take it seriously at the time.
After all, it's summer now and we're in Onozawa.
The barracks were full of mosquitoes.
It is normal to get a few bites.
Ning Que continued to explain, "Uncle Chang, you can understand it as some mosquitoes carrying poison, and when they bite people, they will become sick. In reality, this disease is not contagious, but often many people get sick at the same time, just like a contagious plague."
"I believe you."
Chang Baicao nodded.
In terms of medical skills, Ning Que is better than him.
Whatever Ning Que said must be correct.
He was amazed by all the novel ideas.
“So how do you treat malaria?”
"It's very simple." Ning Que smiled. "Take a handful of Artemisia annua, soak it in two liters of water, squeeze out the juice, and drink it all."
“Just Artemisia annua?”
"Yes, that's enough!"
Ning Que nodded.
Anyone who has a little understanding will know.
Malaria was completely eradicated in China thanks to artemisinin extracted from the sweet wormwood plant, which even won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. The idea of using sweet wormwood stemmed from a recipe found in ancient medical texts.
Naturally, he didn't have the ability to extract artemisinin.
So we treated it according to the ancient prescription.
It stands to reason that it must be useful.
"Okay, I'll get ready now."
Chang Baicao left in a hurry.
Ning Que comforted Shen Qinghe and also left the tent. Several guards with milder symptoms, who were also too exhausted to do so, helped with the decoction. When they saw him, they were all surprised.
"My Lord, why are you here?"
"Qinghe also has malaria."
"ah?!"
"Your Majesty, will we die?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ning Que casually knocked the soldier on the head and waved his hand, "This isn't some terrible plague. Besides, with me and Divine Doctor Chang here, what are you worried about?"
"yes!"
"We still have the prince!"
"I heard that the prince is also a miracle doctor!"
Ning Que saw that they had regained their composure and waved with a smile. He walked to the door and looked at Tie Niu who was waiting anxiously. He knew that this guy must be there.
"My Lord, what's going on?"
"It's not much, and it's not a plague."
Ning Que didn't want to explain too much.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with what he said.
These days, plagues are assumed to be contagious.
Because it can be transmitted from person to person, it's very scary.
Malaria cannot be transmitted from person to person.
It is mainly caused by Plasmodium falciparum carried by mosquitoes.
There's nothing wrong with saying it's not a plague.
"Ah? Not the plague?"
"Yes." Ning Que smiled and nodded, then said calmly, "I'll give you a task now. Prepare mugwort immediately. Burn mugwort in front of each tent to repel mosquitoes. At the same time, try to fill in the stinking ditches to ensure there are no mosquitoes."
"promise!"
Tie Niu immediately laughed.
Seeing Ning Que's confidence, he knew everything would be fine. As for the rest, he didn't need to ask any more questions. As long as he did what Ning Que said, he would definitely be able to escape danger.
"Xiao Ning, how is Qinghe?"
"Don't worry, Master. She's fine."
Bu Suanzi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He rushed over after getting the news.
"What is this disease?"
"I also know some medical skills."
Bu Suanzi was proficient in hundreds of schools of thought.
He also knows some medical skills.
When in Kunlun Mountain, whenever a disciple fell ill, Bu Suanzi would help diagnose and treat him. Bu Suanzi was best at acupuncture. Once, Lu Bai suffered from facial paralysis caused by a wind, and it was he who cured him with silver needles.
“It’s not really a plague.”
"How is that possible?"
Lu Lixing followed beside him and said in surprise, "There are so many people sick throughout Daye City, and the symptoms are basically the same. How can this not be a plague?"
"Has King Lu ever seen anyone bitten by a poisonous snake?"
"Yes."
"The symptoms of their death are the same."
Ning Que didn't give a good look.
He now has no good feelings towards Lu Lixing.
It is understandable that a king of a different surname pretends to be stupid to protect himself.
But at least you have to be a human being, right?
The plague spread under his rule, but he did nothing.
Allow the people to suffer heavy casualties!
Ning Que would rather believe that Lu Lixing is stupid rather than bad.
He was too lazy to explain anything further.
Just looking at Lu Lixing calmly.
"Prince Lu, please prepare the Artemisia annua and mugwort now."
“Both of these medicinal herbs are relatively common.”
"In addition, you can also notify the Ludi County."
"Everyone needs to do their best to prevent mosquitoes and insects."
Ning Que arranged the tasks quickly.
Mugwort is common among the people.
Many people would dry the mugwort and store it.
If you have a cold or fever, take a bath with mugwort.
As for Artemisia annua, it is a bit tricky.
Fortunately, there are quite a few in Lu.
As long as you spend money to acquire it, you will definitely get it.
Ning Que is now thinking about follow-up precautions.
There is still a lot of work to do.
The first thing is the traditional mosquito coils and mosquito nets.
