There is an place in the Pudukottai district of Tamilnadu called Kadiyavatti ( seventeen km from Pudukottai ) where they use a stone for absorbing the poison that gets in to the Human body when a snake bites him. If a person is bit by a snake they are brought to this place where a family who has the stone for generations. The spot above the bitten area is tied with a rope or cloth in such a way that poison doesn't spread to other parts of the body. Then the bitten spot is cut a bit vertically so that it doesn't affect the nerves and the stone is kept over it. Stone starts sucking the poison. Once it is finished the stone is dropped in the bowl of milk where the stone comes to its original texture leaving the poison in the milk, which turns the milk to blue in color.
