作为一种重金属，汞在中医文化中有着悠久的历史。直到现在，我们仍然可以在中国的一些民间方剂中找到汞的证据。我们报告一例35岁的农村妇女，她服用了近35克的Hg2O来治疗她的皮肤瘙痒，这是一个无执照的医生从事庸医（UPEQ）的民间处方，导致暗红色的血便和粘液，恶心，麻木。她向一些综合医院寻求帮助，但得到的都是误诊。经重庆市职业病防治中心汞含量检测确认为汞中毒后，对其进行了二巯基磺胺钠螯合治疗，并有明显改善。由于中医和CFP之间的差异，人们可能会在没有意识到后果的情况下服用危险的药物；这不仅会加重他们的原发疾病，还可能导致意想不到的灾难性后果。
Though as a heavy metal, mercury has a long history in the culture of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Also until now, we can still find evidence of mercury in some Chinese folk prescriptions (CFP)s in China. We report a case of a 35-year-old rural woman, who took almost 35 g of Hg2O orally to treat her itchy skin followed a folk prescription of an unlicensed practitioners engaging in quackery (UPEQ), which lead to dark red bloody stool and mucus, nausea, and numbness. She sought help from some general hospitals, which brought her only misdiagnosis. Only after a mercury level test conducted by Chongqing Prevention and Treatment Center for Occupational Diseases (CPOD) confirmed her mercury intoxication, she was treated with chelation therapy with sodium dimercaptosulphonat and showed significant improvements. Confused by differences between TCM and CFP, people might take dangerous remedies without realizing the consequences; not only could it exacerbate their primary disease, but it could lead to unexpected and disastrous results.
