My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

32

Fortunately, the Princess came out very cooperatively this time.

'It's really spread all over the body.'

What the Empress said the other day was right.

Not only her face, but also her arms, legs, back, and body were covered with red eczema.

Reddish, round eczema spread all over the body, and even yellow ooze was collected.

After a long examination, Kanna diagnosed the disease. It was a skin disease called eczema of the round coin model.

"Your Highness, how have you been managing your illness?"

"I follow the doctor's advice."

The answer came from the Empress.

"Three times a day, I washed my body in hot water infused with medical herbs. Recently, I have been applying the medicine given by the doctor."

It was half-expected answer. In this era, it was believed that skin diseases should be bathed frequently with good water unconditionally.

"May I check the medicine?"

"Hey, that bottle is the medicine."

Kanna lifted the white glass bottle. It contains a light gray ointment close to black.

'Wait a moment... A light gray ointment close to black?'

At that moment, the memory that suddenly passed by. It was a group assignment in college, what was the subject?

yes, it was 'Investigate medicines that have been misused in the history of Eastern and Western medicine.'

'That damn group assignment, I wrote all alone.'

At that time, one of the members of the same group sent me e-mail for data research.

< Mercury treatment includes applying an ointment or steaming and breathing. The mercury ointment was said to be light gray, close to black. >

That was all. Just write that much and you're done.

She was hospitalized with gastroenteritis and was discharged in a week or something, and she added all sorts of nonsense as excuses.

She was dumbfounded when she saw the very insincere e-mail and the description of the color of the mercury ointment. However, when she was looking at this ointment, the sentence passed by.

'Could this be mercury?'

In the past, mercury was sought as a cure for syphilis and skin diseases in the West and as an elixir of immortality in the East by Qin Shi Huang.

What was the end of these mercury-poisoned ones? It's catastrophic.

Kanna asked in a trembling voice.

"Is this... Is it mercury ointment?"

"Yes. You know it well."

In an instant, Kanna's eyes went dark.

Mercury ointment... She wondered if it was, but it was!

'Everywhere people live is the same. They are using it as a medicine here too.'

Yes, mercury does have a bactericidal effect. In fact, there were times when it cured syphilis or other infections.

'It was a problem because I presented a new bottle instead!

The Empress, who had been watching, asked anxiously.

"How is it? Are the medicines weak?"

"How long have you been using this medicine?"
