THE EXTERMINATION OF TICKS BY CHINESE MEDICINE: A PRELIMINARY REPORT,

Abstract

To administer Chinese medicines against forest encephalitis, preliminary tests of the study showed that 0.1% and 0.5% Rotenone, Veratri nigri Rhizoma, Strychnos, capsicum plus Nicotiana tabacum L., and Artemisiae vulgaris Folia worked satisfactorily. The result of Rotenone was especially outstanding. Three testing methods were used: dropping test, gauze-test, and powder test. The dropping test was the main test and worked most effectively. Cages and dogs were preliminarily used for catching ticks. (Author)
