Commentary for Avodah Zarah 57:2

חלא לסיבורי ומוניני לתעניתא וחילופא סכנתא תחלי וסיבורא סכנתא אישתא וסיבורא סכנתא כאיב עינא וסבורי סכנתא שני לדג דם שני לדם דג שלישי לו סכנתא

Vinegar [is good] after letting blood and small fish in brine after fasting; the reverse is dangerous. Cress [after] blood-letting is dangerous. Fever is dangerous for blood-letting; so also are sore eyes dangerous for bloodletting. The second [day] after [eating] fish [may be used] for [the letting of] blood; the second day after bleeding, for [eating] fish; on the third day it is injurious.
