https://www.zdic.net/hant/漏脯充饥
>掛在檐下風乾的肉,因屋漏沾水而有毒。餓了吃腐爛發臭的乾肉。比喻只顧眼前,不管後果。

Not quite the same as "bury one's head in the sand"

>to refuse to think about unpleasant facts, although they will have an influence on your situation:

>瞿伟面色凝重道,“不过也是,霍格姆自己都感知不到疼痛,谁又会往这上面想呢!这可真是剜肉医疮,漏脯充饥!最终还是逃不过一死!”
>过度开采河道里的沙子的行为是漏脯充饥,一旦爆发洪水将非常危险

Some other versions of this include 漏脯疗饥, 漏脯救饥, etc
>至财政困难,尤达极点,鸩酒止渴,漏脯疗饥,比于自戕,奚堪终日?
>是与饮鸩止渴,漏脯救饥,亦何以异
