On this topic somehow Ancient Egyptian poultices (and in cultures onward - though they are the oldest recorded account) even used moldy bread to treat bacterial infections, somehow stumbling onto genuine antibacterial aspects for an absurdly counter-intuitive treatment that has a real effect.

In a very meaningful sense, the local healer applying poultices formulated from generations of experimentation is using science much as the medical doctor is (assuming, of course, they're taking notes, passing on the discoveries, and the results are reproducible).

As parallels to the treatment of snake-bite by sucking, take the use of eucalyptus, the application of weak wattle tan-water for burns and blisters, of clean mud as poultices, of native gums in dysentery, the eucalyptus beds and steam pits for colds and rheumatism, and ask was it a black or a white intelligence that was first to find and apply these(Gilmore 1935: 232).

Contrast this with the ancient Egyptian "medical" practices of applying human waste poultices to open wounds, and the practice of open defecation common in many parts of the world even now.
