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.
