094 Norovirus (seeking monthly pass)

Xu Da looked at this pocket, which looked like a kid's anti-dirty clothes with taut hands and feet. If he imagined himself wearing this clothes and going out, he would look like a fool!

"Look outside, who is making as much fuss as us? If you hadn't talked about the virus, wouldn't we be treating others like monkeys?" Xu Da resisted.

No, as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yue glanced over with a serious look, "Dad, please be careful when sailing a ten thousand year ship. Even if there is no external situation, we must take precautions."

With that said, Xu Yue found a corner and sat down. Under the supervision of her brother Xu Dalang, the spirit entered the research room, took out the reagents and went to the microscope on the workbench to test the three samples brought back by Xu Dalang.

Before the test, Xu Yue had already made a guess in her mind, but when the test results came out, she was still a little surprised.

Three stool samples were watery stools without mucus, pus or blood.

In these three samples, the same virus - norovirus - was detected.

This virus is highly contagious and mainly spreads through the intestines. Infected people have an acute onset of disease and spread quickly. It is the main cause of non-bacterial diarrhea outbreaks.

It can be spread through contaminated water sources, food, items, air, etc.

The main symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Vomiting is common in children and diarrhea is common in adults.

The point is, there are currently no specific anti-toxic drugs.

However, it can be cured with symptomatic treatment, and the patient is in good condition after recovery.

This self-limiting disease, when the disease progresses to a certain extent, can rely on the body itself to control the development of the disease and gradually recover.

However, the current situation Xu Yue is facing is far from simple, and even difficult.

Because this is not a modern society with a complete prevention system, but an ancient society with extremely backward medical conditions. It is difficult to achieve only symptomatic treatment.

Not to mention quickly establishing a prevention system to prevent it.

For a moment, Xu Yue really wanted to just leave her own one-third of an acre of land, wait until she arrived in Yuyang in five days, get off the ship directly, and get rid of this epidemic that was most likely caused by a simple viral diarrhea.

However, just as she took out a bottle of symptomatic medicine from the research room to prepare for emergencies, she heard an exclamation of "someone has fainted" from the bow of the ship.

Xu Yue knew clearly that this was a symptom of dehydration caused by severe diarrhea. She wanted to sit back and ignore it, but her body had already opened the oilcloth bag hidden in her clothes before her mind.

On the small oilcloth were two pieces of maltose that Xiao Junmei was reluctant to eat, so she specially saved them and gave them to her.

Xu Yue is not a real child. She is not greedy for sweets, so she keeps them without eating them.

Xu Yue asked her mother to give her a pottery bowl, and asked her sister for a bottle of salt. Then she took off the leather water bag from her waist, skillfully mixed a bowl of simple salt and sugar water, and handed it to Xu Da.

"Dad, give this to the person who fainted," Xu Yue said.

Xu Da nodded, put on the gloves Xu Yue gave him, put on the blouse he disliked so much, pulled up his mask, opened the curtain, and walked out with salt and sugar water.

It's completely dark now. According to modern time, it should be around 11pm.

The ship stopped on the calm sea and everyone fell asleep, but the diarrhea of ​​the diarrhea patients did not stop.

Someone passed out on the way to the hut and was seen by passers-by. The screams then spread to every corner of the ship, waking up the people resting on the ship.

The torch was lit, and a glimmer of light shone on the dark sea.

Just when the merchant ship guards arrived and were helpless to deal with the unconscious man, Xu Da came over with the salt and sugar water prepared by his daughter.

He shouted "Give me", holding the water and smoothly got in front of the unconscious man.

"Let me give him some water." Xu Da said to the guards.

One of the guards with a water bag in his hand said: "I've already fed him, but it's useless."

Xu Da ignored it. Instead, he glanced at the guard's water bag and kindly reminded: "You'd better wash this water bag before using it."

After that, without looking at the baffled look on the guard's face, he lifted the unconscious patient up, held his chin, and poured the salt and sugar water from the bowl.

The guard holding the water bag got closer, smelled a sweet fragrance, and asked curiously: "What are you feeding him?"

Xu Da curled his lips and smiled mysteriously, "This is a secret formula passed down from my family's ancestors, specially designed to treat coma."

The guard was immediately surprised, "Are you a doctor?"

The word "you" is enough to reflect the important status of doctors in this era.

Xu Daben was just pretending out of habit. Now seeing that the guard wanted to identify himself as a doctor, he remembered his half-baked witchcraft in the world of cultivation and was afraid that the guard would really want to treat people himself, so he shook his head hurriedly.

"I don't dare to be a doctor, but I just learned one or two native remedies for headaches and brain fever thanks to the care of my ancestors."

Unexpectedly, when he said this, the guard's eyes lit up, "Do you have a prescription for treating headaches and brain fever?"

Xu Da raised his eyebrows and did not dare to answer.

At this time, the unconscious patient's eyes moved and he slowly woke up.

Before Xu Da had time to express his appreciation for the effectiveness of his little girl's formula, his arm was grabbed by a guard.

"Miracle doctor! You are truly a miraculous doctor! Our master has been suffering from vomiting, headache and diarrhea for many days without any solution. The doctors on the ship are not skilled enough, so we were looking for a miraculous doctor when you appeared!"

"Miracle doctor, follow me to see the master of the house quickly!" the guard shouted excitedly.

When Xu Da heard this, he said, good guy, I wonder if this virus was transmitted from the head of your family!

Remembering what his little girl said in his mind that the virus was extremely contagious, Xu Da was shocked and did not dare to plunge into the pile of viruses. He pushed back and prepared to withdraw.

When several guards nearby saw this, they also gathered around and did not give Xu Da a chance to refuse. They insisted on taking him to see their family leader, the owner of the ship.

Seeing several people surrounding him, Xu Da's scalp went numb and his eyes were filled with "Don't touch me with the virus!"

But, where would these people give him a chance to escape?

Their brothers also started to have diarrhea for no apparent reason, and some even had symptoms of vomiting, which was extremely scary.

Seeing more and more people getting inexplicably sick, they couldn't help but feel panicked. Naturally, they wanted a doctor with superb medical skills to solve the disease quickly.

Xu Da was helpless. He couldn't just draw his sword and kill people. After all, he had to rely on other people's boats to get to Yuyang.

Xu Da's brain was working rapidly. When the guards were about to hit him hard, he shouted: "I'll go back to get some things!"

The guards looked at each other, thinking that all the doctors who treated patients had medicine boxes and so on. They also saw that Xu Da was empty except for a broken pottery bowl in his hand, and nodded, indicating that they were waiting for someone to accompany him.
