About 75% of the world animal population is arthropods. In these a small number of species (spider, scorpion, bees, wasps, ants, etc) possess venom that causes morbidity and mortality when humans are bitten or stung.
These species have a venom apparatus such as a gland which produces venom which is injected into humans by means of bite or sting. Mainly these venoms consist of histamines. This is the main cause for the allergic reactions in humans. The main allergic reaction is pain in the site of bite or sting, skin reactions, pruritus, etc
If these symptoms are present then it must be treated at the earliest as possible with anti-histamines. If left untreated it will latter develop skin allergies like thickening of the skin, itching, etc, which will be tough task to treat by modern science.
As per siddha principle unknown bite is known as kaana kadi. Allergic skin reactions caused due to the bite of organisms such as millipede, scorpion, insects, bees, certain non poisonous snakes, etc come under this section unknown bite.
Generally the symptoms are thickening or hardening of the epidermis, color change in the skin, itching, etc.
Patients will have severe itching so that they will scratch until blood oozes from the spot. They can’t control the itch so they scratch until wounds are formed on the spot. Now too itching persists and they try to scratch around the border of the wounds which further aggravates the wounds, which latter becomes septic and makes the treatment more complicated.
In my practice section such complicated cases are treated with special care because if left untreated these wounds will never heal and they stay as a thorn in his flesh for a long time. So patients must be beware of it and must treat unknown bite as early as possible to avoid complications.
When treated early with both internal and external siddha medicines good results are shown and quicker remedy can be seen. In the complicated stage first medicines are given to heal the wounds first with both external and internal medicines and then only the medicines for unknown bite is given.
In my clinical practice unknown bite is treated by siddha medicine within a span of 40 days with good results. But in the complicated cases it is taking longer periods. But it can be cured completely.
There are certain food restrictions during the in take of this medicine. Dried fish, bringal, curd, pork, pickles, jack fruit, mangoes, egg, tomato as these food stuffs aggravate the symptoms .
Try to treat unknown bite as early as possible before it gets complicated and get good results with siddha medicine. Good luck.
