I was once stung by a poisonous tick due to which I had a swelling on the feet. I went to a doctor after 3 days of swelling. He was a family friend and prescribed avil. The swelling immediately subsided. After a month or so, I developed the same symptom due to another sting, of which I was not aware. The symptoms were terrible, red patches from head to toe, chest pain and a drop in blood pressure. I got it treated, however the third time it happened, the reaction was so severe that I almost died. The systolic pressure dropped to 45 and I could not even stand. The doctors told me that I had to live in a sterilized atmosphere or the next time I will be dead before reaching the hospital. My Homeopathic doctor just laughed over it and prescribed Arsenicum Album. I am now totally free of the symptoms, we continue to have a lot of ticks in the summer due to my deers but nothing happens to me now. I have never visited an alopath since then. Regards Yazdy.

If you try to stop the bleeding, some irritation on the spot occurs which can last for a few months. Not harmful in any way.

Re: [efloraofindia:44521] Flower for ID140810MN
It is good we have seen the authentic specimens of Clerodendrum serratum. I had uploaded a similar looking plant from Delhi on January 12, which some members had identified as this species and some as Caryopteris odorata. I have resurfaced the same today again so that new members can have a look at that. To me my plant now should be identified as Caryopteris odorata now correctly known as Pseudocaryopteris bicolor. Your opinion is sought on that post. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

I was once stung by a poisonous tick due to which I had a swelling on the feet. I went to a doctor after 3 days of swelling. He was a family friend and prescribed avil. The swelling immediately subsided. After a month or so, I developed the same symptom due to another sting, of which I was not aware. The symptoms were terrible, red patches from head to toe, chest pain and a drop in blood pressure. I got it treated, however the third time it happened, the reaction was so severe that I almost died. The systolic pressure dropped to 45 and I could not even stand. The doctors told me that I had to live in a sterilized atmosphere or the next time I will be dead before reaching the hospital. My Homeopathic doctor just laughed over it and prescribed Arsenicum Album. I am now totally free of the symptoms, we continue to have a lot of ticks in the summer due to my deers but nothing happens to me now. I have never visited an alopath since then. Regards Yazdy.

(so i think leeches are better than ticks). Heard of people using neem oil, neem soap bath, paste of Andrographis paniculata leaves etc etc to manage tick bites and related allergies. Ticks are plenty (sometimes rains from twigs in hundreds when you shake the branch/leaves while walking in the forest) in dry forests and grasslands. However i am not allergic to leeches. But if once i see them on me, i can't concentrate in my work in the field, will spend lot of time in checking for and removing them. Will always feel like leeches climbing on and entering into the socks, bleeding, etc etc. so frequently check the shoes and inside socks. Not yet developed the resistence in mind, will have to learn from people like Yezdi ji, Pankaj... Thanks Neil ji for the useful tips. Hope Oudhia ji also will come up with his own experience and traditional herbal remedy for the problem.

The swelling immediately subsided. After a month or so, I developed the same symptom due to another sting, of which I was not aware. The symptoms were terrible, red patches from head to toe, chest pain and a drop in blood pressure. I
Re: [efloraofindia:44557] Elephant Apple tree in the rain forest
This thread reminds me of one very hilarious discussion with eminent taxonomists. Mr. U.C.Pradhan, Dr. Sarat Misra, Dr. S.P.Vij, Dr. C.Sathish Kumar, two doctors from Nepal and me and my friend Jeewan were there on a field work in a oak forest in Pokhara, Nepal. Sathish Sir, all of a sudden said, you know Pankaj we all are THIRD CLASS TAXONOMISTS thats why we are getting leeches. I couldnt make out at first why he said. Then he explained: *1st CLASS TAXONOMISTS*: WORKS IN AC ROOM, ASKS HIS OR HER STAFF TO GATHER INFORMATIONS AND THEN PUBLISHES ON HIS NAME. *2nd CLASS TAXONOMISTS*: GOES TO FIELD IN A CAR, NEVER GETS OUT, ASSUMES WHAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE AREA AND PUBLISHES ON HIS NAME, OR SOMETIMES EVEN PUBLISHES OTHER'S DATA!! *3rd CLASS TAXONOMISTS*: GOES TO THE FIELD ON FOOT, DOES HARD LABOUR, MOST OF THE TIME DOESNT FIND MUCH INFORMATION TO PUBLISH, EVEN IF HE OR HE DOES, THE ARTICLE GET REJECTED!! So thanks to all those of our third class taxonomists here, who have the leech experience and thats just because they go to field and I am glad that field botany is still alive in India. Inspite of all our personal differences, I am glad to see on one side, Dr. Gurcharan who has been contributing pics from his recent trips in J K; at the same time, Valke sir, who is a non botanists, still goes to field collect informations and shares them here. This is really a nice place to be. So, LONG LIVE LEECH EXPERIENCES!! till those experiences are there, it means we are going to field. Secondly, precaution can always help you from keeping away from such things. LONG SOCKS MADE OF TERECOT could help, wearing full sleeves shirt is always recommended, hat or cap is useful, put a cotton ball in your ears. Odomos cream, or tobacco water, or dettol is always helpful as repellent. Please remember, 50% of the issues are psychological and hence you can get rid of it by controlling your mind. In dehradun we have leeches inside our campus, so to get rid of the apprehension I sometimes used to walk in the forests, barefooted, at one point of time, I even use to catch some leech and put it on my arms, to check how it felt when it bites.and gradually I got rid of this psychological apprehension. Issues are there only when some of persons are truly allergic to leech. You cant help in that case!!

I am highly allergic to them though fascinated by them. While reading through this discussion, which like the leeches themselves is getting rather bloated (with opinions in place of blood) I just could not resist adding my bit to all that is being said. Might not white shoes, socks, leggings as Vijaya is wearing, and trousers help in attracting less leeches? After all, it is the warmth of the body that triggers them into action and white will reflect light as against heat. Earlier we were told that soaking socks in brine kept the pests from climbing on. Might it not be better than Dettol? Just an aside to amuse you and nothing to do with leeches: in the photograph, note the Forest Guard terribly conscious of being in the photograph standing to attention! We Indians love to be in the picture and possibly my writing this is metaphorically a result of this national failure. Lavkumar Khachar.

The discussion here is about a perticular issue and not about a medical system. No one has blamed any system. Each medical system has its own merits and demerits, and whatever is compatible to us we are bound to use. I have seen allopathic doctors using ayurvedic or homeo medicine for certain ailments. It is also not uncommon that even popular ayurvedic physicians using modern medicine/treatment for various ailments. As we all know, certain systems are very effective in certain ailments. Raghu ji, thanks for sharing the pictures. We used to use the similar socks but white, made of cotton material (i know its not water proof but it helps aeration, good for tropical habitats, and also easy to see any insect as the background is white. we spray dettol over the socks and shoes to keep leeches away). Attached a picture showing leech-proof socks (in photo: Dr.Ravikumar). Thank you all once again for participating in the healthy discussion and sharing your experiences.
