Animal domestication: Remedies for windy camels
Adrian M. Lister1
If your camel suffers from violent wind, "the whole belly is swollen ... the ears are put together, the teeth are firmly closed". The remedy, according to a Chinese manual on camel husbandry from the twelfth century AD, includes "powder of centipedes, beans soaked in wine, acupuncture behind the ears, and the letting of a great quantity of blood".
