【Explanations by various scholars】 Meng Shen: "It is important to note that (otter meat) can cause water swelling. However, if it is caused by heat, toxicity or wind, it will be cured immediately after taking it. If it is caused by cold, it will only cure the swelling. It only cures heat, not cold, so it cannot be generalized."
