These are tick-like animals and are well known in Syria. They are found in beds and it seems that we call them al-anjal.
Respiratory and chest organs.
If you drink them in vinegar or wine, they expel leeches from the throat.

If you smell bedbugs, it helps against “suffocation of the uterus” and invigorates, and if you grind them and put them in the opening of the urinary canal, it cures difficulty urinating.
Fevers.
If you take seven bugs, put them in fava beans and take them before an attack of four-day fever, it helps.
Poisons.
If you swallow bugs without fava beans, it will help against the bite of the reptiles.
