Note 23 — PETER KALM’s TRAVELS. (continued 5)
Johann Reinhold Forster translation
These worms are the Larva’s of the Oestrus or Gadfly, which deposits its eggs on the back of cattle, and the Larva’s being hatched from these eggs, cause great sores, wherein they live till they are ready for their change. In the south of Russia they use for the same purpose the decoction of Veratrum, or the white Hellebore. F. ↑
