Nettles

If anyone ever tells you that grasping a nettle firmly will prevent the sting from hurting you, do not believe them.

I tried this.  My fingers are still sore and tingling half a day later.  I can see a small red blister on one of them.  Next time, I'll wear a glove.

I always wear gloves, especially during the summer when I'm picking nettle leaves for my Hayfever Tea.

Hope the stinging isn't compounding the other hand-trouble...
