Stinging Nettles?
 
Ok so I stung my left arm and right hand today. My arm no longer stings and was fine but my hand has been constantly stinging for 4 hours and its all red and blotchy. Am I going to die? what is wrong with my hand D:

When I was a kid there used to be two different types of stinging nettles that where around areas I played (not saying you are a 'kid').

The big very jaggy pointy one which gave you a 'needle' type sting only - with no real after effect

then you got and the secret sly ones like below - that don't look as bad, but still like hell for hours and hours later....

the answer is to get a dock leaf and rub it..... it help alleviate the sting as it contains antihistimines.

Anthisan insect bite cream is also good, as is Eurax.

If you havent got either around the home, when you next go wee wee pee on the nettle rash, it will stop the stinging and reduce any sweeling etc. (Old army trick ;) )

PSML.... that Rebeckah has got your mind right in the gutter again, it surfaced briefly but nope, you're right in there again!! Dirty man.


I know that trick too, but funny enough: wee lassies aren't in the habit of pulling down their pants to pee on their hands.... boys are better designed for that sort of discreet behaviour!!

Peeing on jelly fish stings is recommended as an emergency first aid thing to.

I remember in Summer I was with a girl at like 1AM in a forest - it was actually the day before CBB8's Launch :blush: and we were sitting on a wall like making out, and she forced me to like lie back and I ended up lieing in a ******ing patch of nettles and couldn't even scream with pain because I'd look like a ******ing bellend.

I agree about the docking leaf, used to use them all the time for jaggy nettle stings when we were younger.

Calamine lotion might stop it irritating too.

Kerry 11-09-2011 08:49 PM
If you don't have any antihisthimine cream pop some ice on it

Both of these work actually.

But the second option is horrible.
I remember using docking leafs :lovedup:

About four people will understand this post.

i can honestly say i'd never hear of "stinging nettles" til i saw it on british tv. if we have them, they must have a different name. ???
