Yellow wine: insecticide detoxification

Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, many parts of southern China have entered the rainy season, and the weather conditions are conducive to the activity and reproduction of mosquitoes, flies and pests.

There are also many people who drink realgar in the Dragon Boat Festival, but since the main component of realgar is arsenic disulfide, it can be decomposed into a very toxic arsenic when exposed to heat, so it is not recommended for internal use.

It is one of the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. In the Dragon Boat Festival, realgar was added to the wine to make the realgar, sprinkled on the corners of the room and under the bed, which has a strong anti-mosquito and insecticidal effect.
