She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 1208 The Truth About Infectious Diseases

Ye Shu had people collect a lot of test samples, and had enough case samples.

So, that night, when she came out of the lab, she got the answer: "The transmission route is neither air nor saliva."

"No infectious virus was found in the excreta of any of the patients."

After Leader Cui went out to arrange the things Ye Shu had asked him to do, he returned to the Central Hospital and waited outside the laboratory with the hospital leaders, waiting for Ye Shu.

Upon hearing Ye Shu's conclusion, Leader Cui and the dean were stunned: "What?"

"There's no virus? Then how do they spread it?"

In fact, it’s not that they couldn’t do the experiment before, but they all subconsciously thought that it was a cold that was contagious and must be transmitted through the air.

In this case, even if it is discovered, it cannot be prevented unless a gas mask is worn.

Moreover, they subconsciously felt that there was no point in finding out the route of transmission!

They are currently racing against time to fight the infectious disease and find effective medicine to treat the symptoms. They simply don't have time to do this kind of analysis that they think is meaningless!

Perhaps, it is because they have not found this disease anywhere else except Dongcheng, so they think that this disease is not highly contagious.

Furthermore, due to limited equipment, the hospital does not have special laboratory instruments.

Moreover, they are clinical medical staff, not professional experimental researchers, so they are not good at this kind of experimental research.

The equipment that Ye Shu just used for the experiment was a few pieces of equipment that she asked Leader Cui to transfer from the chemical plant, and then they were disassembled and reassembled.

This is the skill I learned from Zong Hui.

Now, after reaching such a conclusion, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Leader Cui asked, "...besides these, what other channels are there for transmission?"

Ye Shu: "Sex."

"However, in this case, the infection rate among minors is almost impossible."

"But now, the infection rate among minors is very high, accounting for almost more than half, so this transmission route can also be ruled out."

The dean frowned, and they looked at each other, each with a guess in their mind, but not daring to say it out loud.

Ye Shu: "Don't worry, this is a city-wide poisoning incident. There is no transmission route, and it's not a contagious disease. Now we just need to find the corresponding poison and the method of poisoning, and then we can solve it in a targeted manner."

"Poison?"

The dean and several doctors looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment of stunned silence, they quickly began to deduced the symptoms of poisoning in all the patients.

Ye Shu calmly listed two poisonous plants:

"It's probably a mixture of these two toxins. It won't kill you right away, but over time, or if you're weaker or have lower resistance, you'll gradually die."

This corresponds to the fact that patients in Dongcheng have indeed died one after another.

After everyone heard this, two people who had some knowledge of Chinese medicinal herbs quickly responded, "That's right! The toxicity of these two plants does appear to be like this!"

"No wonder we've been treating it for so long but can't get it cured!"

They were all busy treating the patients' superficial symptoms, such as fever, cough, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.

But in fact, they are poisoned! The toxins in their bodies cannot be eliminated, so of course no matter what treatment is used, it will not be cured!

Once the toxicity is preliminarily determined, a targeted antidote can be found.

Because in the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, all things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and there is an antidote for every poison.

However, the detoxification process still encountered difficulties.

Ye Shu gave the names of several medicinal herbs. As long as you mix them according to the ratio and boil the soup, the poison will be eliminated after drinking it for two or three days.

Only those whose toxins have invaded their lungs and heart vessels and are in critical condition need emergency treatment in the hospital.

Unfortunately, the detoxification process is very slow, because there are not many antidotes in the Chinese medicine pharmacies in the city!

There is a shortage of medicinal materials!

Seeing Leader Cui's frantic look, Ye Shu was puzzled: "These herbs aren't particularly rare, why can't we find them all?"

Leader Cui sighed, "…We did have several Chinese medicine shops in Dongcheng before, but they were later destroyed…and the medicinal materials were gone."

Ye Shu: "Then go look for them in the countryside. There must be some of these in the mountains. If you can find some fresh ones, it will be even better."

Her words were like enlightenment, and people soon went to the countryside.

It was only after they went to the countryside that they realized that the disease in the countryside was not actually serious.

Those people were curious and went to the local area to investigate, but they couldn't get to the bottom of it!

However, when this news reached Leader Cui's ears, he sighed deeply and said, "I am too narrow-minded!"

"The master is hidden among the people!"

There are barefoot doctors in the countryside, and even Chinese medicine practitioners who hide their identities.

When the country people get sick, they go to them for treatment to save money, and they are cured earlier.

However, the people in the city were trapped in the situation because their thinking was restricted by the infectious disease.

The doctors and leaders of the Ministry of Health, hospitals and clinics all felt very guilty, but they could only devote themselves to rescuing patients with this shame.

For mild cases, you can take the medicine you want at home. For severe cases, you need to be hospitalized for observation.

Especially those who are in poor health may develop complications due to this poisoning.

As for how and why the people in the entire East City were poisoned, it was up to Duan Qi to investigate.

Detoxification drugs can be dug in the mountains, but many patients with complications require more drugs.

Since there was a shortage in Dongcheng, Leader Cui would go and allocate supplies from other cities.

Ye Shu was also busy helping the central hospital see patients.

There are too many patients, one after another.

Ye Shu had been seeing patients in the camp’s medical room before. Although there were busy times, the workload was never as intense as this.

Right now, I am so busy that I want to keep spinning like a top.

At noon that day, Ye Shu had just finished treating a patient and couldn't bear it any longer. He said to Xiao Gao, "Help me stop the other people. I need to rest for a while."

After all, people are not made of steel. When they are too tired, they really need to rest.

The key point is that she was too tired and too hungry, and now she has no appetite at all.

Xiao Gao saw how hard she worked and how tired she was, so he immediately helped her close the door of her clinic.

Ye Shu really didn't have the energy to care about what was happening outside. After making sure that there was no outsider in the room, she took out a piece of chocolate from her space bag, peeled off the wrapper and put it in her mouth.

Then she lay down on the hospital bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a few moments.

She didn't know how long it had been before she was awakened by a soft, somewhat familiar voice.

I also smelled a very special fragrance.
