Refers to an illness caused by exposure to the poison of the Shegong, a term also known in ancient texts as Yu, Short Fox, Water Fox, or Water Crossbow. Accounts vary: some describe it as a kind of fox, others as a three-legged soft-shelled turtle, and still others as a winged beetle-like creature that "spits sand at one's shadow," causing mysterious sickness. It is speculated to be a type of waterborne parasite.
