"The drug," said Shaba, "was a simple combination of sajel, a simple pustulant, and gieron, an unusual allergen. Mixed they produce a facsimile of the superficial symptoms of Bazi plague."
"I could have been killed," I said, "by the mob." I did not think many would care to approach you," said Shaba.
"It was not your intention then that I be killed?" I asked.
"Certainly not," said Shaba. "if that was all that was desired, kanda might have been introduced into your drink as easily as sajel and gieron"

(( Bosk describing the symptoms of the Bazi plague related to what he expirenced under the influence of sajel and gieron)) "I simply did not feel ill. I was slightly drunk and heated from the paga, but I did not believe myself fevered. My pulse and heartbeat, and respiration, seemed normal. I did not have difficulty catching my breath. I was niether dizzy nor nauseous, and my vision was clear. My worst physical symptoms were the irritation about my eyes and the genuinely nasty itchiness of my skin. I felt like tearing it off with my own fingernails." --Explorers of Gor, pg 136.

(( This is injury occurred while Kurii slavers were abducting Eleanor Brighton from Earth )) "He touched the bloodied cut on my belly, where the branch had struck me. Then, with his hand, he lifted my head, turning it, looking at the cut on my cheek. We are not pleased, he said. I said nothing. Bring salve, he said. An ointment was brought, and he smeared it across the two cuts. It was odorless. To my surprise it seemed to be absorbed almost immediately. You must be careful, he said. Again I said nothing. You might have marked yourself, he said, or might have been blinded. He returned the ointment to another man. They are superficial, he told me, and will heal without trace."--Captive of Gor pg. 29 - 30

Beside him, colied, perhaps as a symbol of power, lay a bosk whip. Kutaituchik absently reached into a small golden box near his right knee and drew out a string of rolled kanda leaf. The roots of the kanda plant, which grows largely in the desert regions of Gor, are extremely toxic, but, surprisingly, the rolled leaves of this plant, which are relatively innocuous, are formed into strings and, chewed or sucked, are much favoured by many Goreans, particularly in the southern hemisphere, where the leaf is more abundant.

 

(skipping a paragraph, moving to page 44) And, yet I was sad as I looked upon him , for I sensed that for this man there could no longer be the saddle of the kaiila, the whirling of the rope and bola and the hunt of war. Now, from the right side of his mouth, thin, black and wet there emerged a string of chewed kanda, a quarter of an inch at a time, slowly. The drooping eyes, glazed, regarded us. For him there could no longer be the swift races across the frozen prarie, the meetings in arms, even the dancing to the sky about a fire of bosk dung. ( Nomads of Gor pgs 43-44 )

(( Wounds can get infected )) "The zadit is a small, tawny-feathered, sharp-billed bird. It feeds on insects. When sand flies and other insects, emergent after rains, infest kaiila, they frequently alight on the animals, and remain on them for some hours, hunting insects. This relieves the kaiila of the insects but leaves it with numerous small wounds, which are unpleasant and irritating, where the bird has dug insects out of its hide. These tiny wounds, if they become infected, turn into sores; these sores are treated by the drovers with poultices of kaiila dung."
--Tribesmen of Gor pg. 152

 

(( Speaking about the health of soldiers of Ar in the Vosk Delta)) "Sickness and infection, too were rampant, hunger and exposure, sunstroke and dysentery were common."
--Vagabonds of Gor pg. 149

 

 

( The Priest Kings eliminate any pathogens on Gor that effect them, they dont however remove all of the pathogens that are harmful to humans ) "I would later learn that these rays, which passed through my body as easily and harmlessly as sunlight through glass, were indexed to the metabolic physiology of various organisms which can infect Priest-Kings. I would also learn that the last known free instance of such an organism had occured more than four thousand years before. In the next few weeks in the Nest I would occasionally come upon diseased Muls. The organisms which afflict them are apparently harmless to Priest-Kings and thus allowed to survive."
--Priest Kings of Gor pg. 108

 

"Your father was instructed to call you Tarl, and lest he might speak to you of the Counter-Earth or attempt to dissuade you from our purpose, he was returned to Gor before you were of an age to understand. I thought he deserted my mother, I said. She knew, said Misk, for though she was a woman of Earth she had been to gor. Never did she speak to me of these things, I said. Matthew Cabot on Gor, said Misk, was a hostage for her silence. My mother, I said, died when I was very young. Yes, said Misk, because of a petty bascillus in your contaminated atmosphere, a victim to the inadequacies of your infantile bacteriology."
--Priest Kings of Gor pg. 127

 

 

"I had used simple-pile arrows, which may be withdrawn from a wound. The simple pile gives greater penetration. Had I used a broad-headed arrow, or the Tuchuk barbed arrow, one would, in removing it, commonly thrust the arrow completely through the wound, drawing it out feathers last. One is accordingly, in such a case, less likely to lose the point in the body."
--Raiders of Gor pg. 79

 

"She was gasping. Some six inches of the arrow, five inches feathered, protruded from her shoulder." ..."I lifted her from the cruel pinion. She fell to her knees. Now, the arrow gone her two wounds began to bleed. She shuddered. I would permit some blood to wash from the wound, cleaning it." ..."Then I knelt beside her and, with those sknins I had taken from her, bound her wound." ..."She was sick from he wound, and loss of blood. She fainted as I had carried her."
--Hunters of Gor pg. 112

 

 

"I found Flaminius, the Physician, in his quarters, and he obligingly, though drunk, treated the arm which Ho-Tu had slashed with the hook knife. The wound was not at all serious. The games of Kajurilia can be dangerous, remarked Flaminius, swiftly wrapping a white cloth about the wound, securing it with four small metal snap clips."
--Assassin of Gor pg. 264

 

 

"There was a small sound of pain. He had apparently been left for dead and was only now recovering consciousness. His grey garment with its scarlet strip of cloth on the shoulder was stained with blood. I unbuckled the helmet strap and gently removed the helmet. One side of the helmet had been cracked open, perhaps by the blow of an ax. The helmet straps, the leather inside, and the blond hair of the soldier were soaked with his blood. He was not much more than a boy." ..."Don't struggle, I said to him, looking at the wound. The helmet had largely absorbed the blow but the blade of the striking instrument had creased the skull, accounting for the flow of blood. Most likely the force of the blow had rendered him unconscious and the blood had suggested to his assailant that the job was finished. His assailant had apparently not been a warrior. With a portion of Lara's cloak I bound the wound. It was clean and not deep."
--Outlaw of Gor pg. 217

 

 

"One of the girls was moaning and holding her left arm tightly against her body. It must have been severly bruised, if not broken. If it were broken it could be set, and she could then be returned to the cage."
--Vagabonds of Gor pg . 459

 

 

"The hunting arrow, incidentally, has a long, tapering point, and this point is firmly fastened to the shaft. This makes it easier to withdraw the arrow from its target. The war arrow, on the other hand, uses an arrowhead whose base is either angled backwards, forming barbs, or cut straight across, the result in both cases being to make the arrow difficult to extract from a wound. The head of the war arrow, too, is fastened less securely to the shaft than is that of the hunting arrow. The point thus by intent, if the shaft is pulled out, is likely to linger in the wound. Sometimes it is possible to thrust the arrow through the body, break off the point and then withdraw the shaft backwards. At other times, if the point becomes dislodged in the body, it is common to seek it with a bone or greenwood probe, and then, when one has found it, attempt to work it free with a knife. There are cases where men have survived this. Much depends, of course, on the location of the point."
--Savages of Gor pg. 40

 

 

"Using the dagger as an awl, punching through the flesh, and the long lacing from the lance head, while Hassan held together the edges of the ripped furrows, I crudely sewed together the rent bloodied meat before me."
--Tribesmen of Gor pg. 263
