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.

Ouch!
By the way, if you want an interesting use for your nettles, they can be used for wool dying. Must find some to use at some point...
