This insect is found wild in Mexico and Central America, inhabiting different species of cactus and allied genera of plants. It is also cultivated to some extent in Texas and New Mexico. The female insect is the one used in medicine and commerce. They are collected and killed either by immersing in boiling water or over the heat of a fire. The insect has a peculiar coloring matter or principle, called by most authorities Cochinilin. –Hale's Symptomatology.
The complete symptomatology was first published in Metcalf's New Homeopathic Provings, 1863.
The female insects perish quickly after having deposited their eggs, which are hatched in the sun and give origin to innumerable insects, which spread themselves over the plant; after fecundation, the females, which before moved about, attach themselves to the leaves and increase rapidly in size, so that in the end, legs, antennae and proboscis are scarcely discoverable, and they appear like excrescences on the plant; they are then gathered with a blunt knife, quill or feather. –A. H. Pharmacopoeia.
The trituration is the better preparation, as it contains also ethereal oil and formic acid. –Prof. Rapp, Retrospect, 1878, p. 14.
Dr. Crtin calls attention to the confusion which frequently prevails in French homeopathic literature between the Cochineal, Coccus cacti, and the lady-bird, Coccionella septempunctata, both being known in that language as Cochenille. He points out that it is Coccus cacti which is used in whooping cough, while the medicine which Dr. Jousset recommends in some cases of prosopalgia is Coccionella. –B. J. H., vol. 36, p. 184.
