water drunk [with it, and placed] beside him, in [his] dwellings there are no serpents.

1.191.11

and taken with milk, removes the poison of rats in three nights.
And from drinking three sips of cold water,

Safflower, saffron, yellow orpiment, realgar,
ground karañja, and root of arka, O Śaṅkara—

1.191.16

the poison of human beings is destroyed from eating these, O Śiva.
And from applying lamp oil on bites caused by insects, O Śiva,
the poison of a kharjūraka is then destroyed; there is no doubt here.
