Chuan Shan Jia (Anteater Scales)
When the pregnant (cc: pregnancy) anteater
wanted herbs to promote lactation she had
to cross the road and brave the traffic jam
despite her blocked menses. During the adventure
she got clipped by a car which caused a little swelling
and some pus discharge.
Although she survived, the wounds did develop into (cc: ulcerated sores) so she decided to be more careful in the future.
