    Stinging nettles are found absolutely everywhere here in the UK. I once had a rather large patch growing at the bottom of my garden. I was going to get rid of it, but then a man tried climbing over my fence one night trying to break in. He climbed up on my plum tree, which promptly snapped and he dropped 6 feet down into said patch of nettles. Funniest thing I've ever seen. I kept them after that as biological home security!

    I would like to say there is a leaf that grows close called the “dock leaf” and it helps the pain a lot, here in the uk you get stung left, right and centre! So them growing around the stinging nettles is a life saver. There is also a leaf that looks a lot like a nettle, it has one different distinct feature and that is that it has white flowers with it.

    The folk tales here say that getting stung by stinging nettle is beneficial for blood vessels and your circulatory system in general. Additionally, unless you are having an allergic reaction (which is pretty rare) to the nettle, the stinging is completely harmless.
    Another fun fact, the nettle only has trichomes while it is young in the spring and loses trichomes as it grows older. During autumn the nettle doesn't sting at all. So big up for Coyote for doing the video when the nettle is at its most stingy even though this pain is basically nothing compared to all the hell he endured. We eat the nettle in the autumn due to its high iron content. I can't really stand the taste, but a lot of people here enjoy it.

    New Zealand has a species called the Ongaonga - The Tree Nettle, or Urtica Ferox. The nettles on the leaves are huge and look like spiked glass, and the shrub grows up to 3m tall. And yes, it is both toxic and beyond painful to be stung by it, causing ataxia, confusion, hyper salivation and breathing problems. It's one of the few plants in the country that has actually killed at least one person.

    I tried the jewelweed on a nettle sting before and it worked great, after I used it the only symptom left was my skin felt slightly sensitive, no pain at all.
    The technique I used was to take a small wad of leaves and roughly roll them in my palm until it started to feel wet, you need the juice, then just use that on the sting

  • @Ecks__Dee

    Here in Austria we collect the small nettle leafes on top, boil them so they cant sting anymore and make soup, spinach and tea out of it. Tastes awesome and is very healthy.
    You also can dig out the roots and make a tincture out of it.
    Very effective against cystitis, anemia, iron deficiency and general exhaustion.

    Back in elementary school I would pick nettles up barehanded and tell other kids that it was a species that didn't sting and they'd go for it and get stung. A couple of times they even thought the nettle in my hand was special so they took it and got stung again. I got stung way more than them while "demonstrating" how it doesn't sting, but it was worth it.

    I live on a farm in Illinois, and we get all sorts of nettle plants in our yard. The most effective (NOT painless) treatment is to get to fresh cold (the colder the better) water and submerge and rub the needles out. Then, apply an antihistamine cream or gel. Icepacks help to calm the residual pain.

      The top of the leaves cant sting you, so if you ever need to handle one and dont have gloves you can push a leaf against the stem and use that to grab it.

    This is not a stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) or a slender stinging nettle (Urtica gracilis). It is a wood nettle or Canada nettle (Laportea canadensis) and it is much more painful to get stung by than the stinging nettle.

My entire face felt as if I face planted right on top of a stinging nettle bush. My eyelids melted slightly. When I. blinked, My eyes wanted to stay closed and vise versa. So glad I wasn’t exhaling during the blast. No structural damage. Great lesson learned that should not have required a lesson. 🙏🙏

      But I can imagine that the plants change a bit when they go to different environments. So I’m not sure about if it’s actually 100% the same but I’m pretty certain that it’s atleast a closely related plant.
