Also red wandering wind. A form of infantile cinnabar toxin characterized by red smooth swollen patches on the head, trunk, and limbs. Fetal heat cinnabar toxin is attributed to deep-lying internal fetal toxin contending with the blood and exacerbated by wind. In some cases, warm clothing and the internal heat of breast milk may encourage the evil. Spreading from the abdomen and the back to the limbs is favorable; moving from the limbs to the abdomen and the back and to the scrotum is unfavorable.
