In fact, "Mi Chong" is a kind of moth, which may be called differently in different places. For example, the "ka bug" here is a kind of moth that lives in wood. I still remember when I was a child, my father could chop up a lot of Mi Chong, and my mother fried it in a frying pan. The fragrance is unforgettable so far, and it is overflowing, making people drool! This kind of worm is also very nutritious, with a high content of protein. After research, it contains antibacterial protein, chitin, 8 kinds of amino acids and trace elements necessary for human body. These special active substances play a significant role in regulating the hypoimmunity of human body, and are precious biomedical resources with antibacterial, antiviral and antitumor effects. This kind of bug can also be used as medicine to treat many diseases! According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica and China Pharmacopoeia, after eating this insect, it is physically strong, with hemp poison invading the body, rash and nameless swelling, and has obvious curative effect on liver ascites, liver cirrhosis and blood diseases. Because of its good curative effect, the worm has been used in the people, especially for anorexia and bed wetting caused by malnutrition in children, as well as for stunting, drooling, grinding teeth, hemorrhoids, bone and muscle pain and so on.
