🎯 It acts as a powerful blood poison that causes hemorrhage, septic states, and profound physical and mental prostration.
📖 Boericke writes:
(LACHESIS)
Like all snake poisons, Lachesis decomposes the blood, rendering it more fluid; hence a haemorrhagic tendency is marked. Purpura, septic states, diphtheria, and other low forms of disease, when the system is thoroughly poisoned and the prostration is profound. The modalities are most important in guiding to the remedy. Delirium tremens with much trembling and confusion. Very important during the climacteric and for patients of a melancholic disposition. Ill effects of suppressed discharges. Diphtheritic paralysis (Botulinum). Diphtheria carriers. Sensation of tension in various parts. Cannot bear anything tight anywhere.
