So what is this Spanish fly and why does it lead to increased libido? In general, a Spanish fly or an ash fly is called a beetle from the family of blisters. The insect has a beautiful green coloration, casting blue or bronze in the sun. Its head is heart-shaped, and large membranous wings are hidden under hard elytra. This bug is also distinguished by an unpleasant smell, similar to a mouse. When meeting with an insect, it is not recommended to touch it with your hands, since the beetle is poisonous. At the slightest touch, the Spanish fly (the photo makes it possible to find out how it looks) produces cantharidin, a toxic substance that can not only cause a chemical burn, but also affect the nervous system, harm the gastrointestinal tract and liver. Moreover, this beetle is a real pest, feeding on the leaves of selected plants (ash, lilac, privet, and others belonging to the olive and honeysuckle families).
The Spanish fly has been known since ancient times, but it was especially popular in the Middle Ages. In particular, drugs from this bug were actively used to create political intrigues. After all, if any official of those times was convicted of treason, his career could come to an end. The notorious Marquis de Sade also used a front sight to make his orgies more vivid and sophisticated. The drug was added to fruits, sweets and other products. But since the Spanish fly is poisonous, cases of poisoning repeatedly arose, because of which the Marquis was imprisoned as a murderer -poisoner. Therefore, even modern preparations based on cantharidin should be taken very carefully, only in accordance with the instructions and preferably after consultation with an experienced doctor. Otherwise, it is not known what side effects may appear.
But Spanish fly is not only used to increase libido. From this bug prepare a drug called "Kantaris". Its purpose is the treatment of cystitis, as well as burns. This homeopathic remedy is recommended for the effective removal of warts, the treatment of rheumatic diseases. Surprisingly, it is also used for emotional and mental disorders such as nervousness, anxiety, and even nymphomania (excessive sexual excitability).
