I grabbed a whole handful of stinging nettle this spring when i was pulling weeds. if you're lucky enough to have English family and they've been wise enough and generous enough to share an imported supply of TCP antiseptic your problem is solved. Removes the sting instantly and after two treatments perminantly. The stuff reminds me of the way hospitals smelled 30 years ago.

You have to use pee, your own pee, not anybody's but your own. Like if you cut your finger and bleed on some cloth, your spit will get the blood out right then and there, something the sewing group might want to know. But no other person's spit will work. I thank it is in the DNA. Sorry about the sting, I worked on a farm many years ago that grew the stuff, and I lived on a farm that had it on the upper land, I got into it all the time.

Remedy

The Only Reason I Allow Touch Me Not To Remain In My Yard Is That You Can Crunch It Up And Apply It To Stinging Nettle Wounds. I've Tried It It Works.

Whenever any of my tour groups find nettles, I announce that someone will volunteer to get stung, to demonstrate how jewelweed cures the rash. Sure enough, someone accidentally gets stung, and we cure it. Once I was the careless one who got stung, but I kept my mouth shut treated myself surreptitiously. Plantain and dock also work. "Nettle in, dock out!," say the English. Surprisingly some people (masochists?) actually find nettle stings invigorating, and use them to wake up the body.

That is a word for word quote from a book I bought- I have this gift of recalling actual passages (quite useful through college) Are you the author?- I enjoyed the book

No, it was quoted from that url. I tried to use the quote box, but the forum software wouldn't accept it that way.
