Stinging nettles produce and acid and to treat them you need alkaline. The kids of today would probably find this out quicker and get sorted by downloading an app whilst your furiously rubbing a leaf against your ageing flesh. But as I say, if you want to - any leaf will most likely have the same effect. Nah, not having that. Plenty of things are acidic but don't produce the nettle reaction. The little blobs that appear on the skin are indicative of biomarkers that acid would not induce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your stung area isn't green it's not been applied with enough vigour. Giant hogweed leaves wouldn't have the same affect. Apparently the plant doesn't burn you the sun does. Some component to do with photosynthesis or sommat. If you get hogweed juice on the skin, cover it up from sunlight until it can be washed off properly.

Youri McAnespie Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Knowing that paper the 'chemist' 'proving' dock leaves don't work is probably the same bloke who invented Zyklon-B or propogated those myths about the superiority of the white race - or both. Or his grandchild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Dunno about the first one, therefore I don't know the exact meaning of 'Dr. White honking jamrag spunkbubble' either... Pepper? Evil. Pepper? Evil. Martin (Clunes?) Evil, worse than Mengele. Fox? Sex case, hang him. Also evil are Doctors; Alban, Hook, No and ...And The Medics.
