The Prime Minister Seduced Me to Give Birth

Artemisia annua is used to treat malaria.

There is no doubt about this.

A female scientist in the modern flower country is to extract artemisinin from Artemisia annua to treat malaria, and she also won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this.

Gu Yunjiao had seen the interview of this scientist. At the beginning of the team's research, it was always impossible to extract artemisinin from Artemisia annua, or it did not meet the standard.

One day, a female scientist turned to Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Recipe" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which stated that there are various prescriptions for treating cold and heat: one grip of Qinghao, soaked in two liters of water, twisted to extract juice, and fully consumed.

When the female scientist saw it, she suddenly realized that she tried to use the cold extraction method to successfully extract artemisinin.

Gu Yunjiao doesn't know how much water is in this interview, but it is absolutely true that artemisinin can treat malaria, and it is superior to other medicinal materials.

For a period of time, people used cinchona cream to treat malaria, but cinchona cream was toxic to a certain extent, and it was also harmful to the human body, and then no one used it.

In addition to Qinghao, Gu Yunjiao also wrote some other herbs, which she intends to use to make some herbal packs to kill mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes suck the blood of people infected with Plasmodium, carry the Plasmodium, and then suck the blood of healthy people, and then pass the Plasmodium to healthy people.

Mosquitoes play the role of transmitters and intermediate hosts in the transmission of malaria. Without mosquitoes, malaria is actually not contagious.

Therefore, we must eliminate mosquitoes, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate this infectious disease.

Gu Yunjiao handed over the writing to the prefect of Wu.

The prefect of Wu hurriedly wrote the book.

After writing the book, the prefect of Wu called his personal guard, "This memorial will be sent to the capital day and night with an expedited 800 li."

The guards solemnly collected the memorial and set off immediately.

Gu Yunjiao said to Wu Zhifu again: "The prefect will also organize a campaign to eliminate mosquitoes in every household, and the city must start to eliminate mosquitoes quickly. I suspect that someone in the city must have been infected, but it has not been reported yet."

Compared with outside the city, there are fewer trees, weeds, ponds, and fewer mosquitoes. This may be the reason why there has not been an outbreak in the city.

Wu Zhifu nodded and ordered his subordinates to hurry up and report to the various yamen.

Not long after Gu Yunjiao waited at the prefect's yamen, a pharmacy brought Qinghao over.

Artemisia annua in pharmacies is dried and cut into small pieces, so it is not easy to extract juice.

Gu Yunjiao didn't care, she got a few large pieces of gauze and soaked the artemisia annua in the boiled cold water.

After soaking for a quarter of an hour, let the soldiers wash their hands and wrap the qinghao in gauze to squeeze the juice.

Gu Yunjiao discussed with the prefect of Wu again, "For those who have malaria outside the city, it is best to concentrate them all in the city and make a place for them to live."

"Only by taking good care of them and preventing mosquitoes from biting them can we slowly break the chain of transmission."

Wu Zhifu shook his head again and again, "That won't work, you can't let them enter the city no matter what."

He still couldn't fully believe what Gu Yunjiao said that the disease would not be transmitted from person to person.

As the prefect of Yangzhou, he is also responsible to the people of Yangzhou.

What if this Doctor Gu is unreliable, let those people into the city and cause a large-scale infection?

Gu Yunjiao frowned.

There is really no isolation outside the city.

They are all shacks, and they can't keep out mosquitoes.

Wu Zhifu's distrust of her also made her a little annoyed.

She suppressed her anger and thought for a moment, "Well then, the prefect will come forward and collect several large houses or large manors in the north city of Xicheng, summon carpenters, work day and night, and make screen windows and screen doors as soon as possible. After the screen doors are installed , transfer patients from all over the place and manage them centrally.”

In this kind of weather, it is impossible to completely close the door, it will be very hot.
