[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 392772, member: 3739"] Nope, they sure don't. Not anymore, anyway. They used to, but not after this happened: I think they have some sort of anti-histimine compound that's supposed to be relief for pain, and yet if you ain't hurting somewhere, grabbing with your bare hands a nettle stung worse than a hornet's stinger. I was out pulling weeds out of the rock garden and around the yard, and grabbed a little nettle plant by accident with my bare hands. YOUCH!! But I don't know why I did this, but I took a leaf of the plant that I pulled out and rubbed it on the sore, painful, stinging spot. Well, I'll be jiggered if that didn't relieve the pain. The spot was numb for a few hours, but all was well after that. Now I get to tell the fun (and neat) part. :shock: ;-) After that, I did it again: pull a stinging nettle plant, with my bare hands, out of the ground. And here's the weird part: I didn't get stung. No pain, nuthin'. And my hands weren't numb, they still had their touch sensors on red alert. This was a day or so after the little run in with that 2" tall monster. I pulled out over a dozen, and still nothing. :shock: And I'm not lying either. No, seriously, I'm not! Today, about oh, I dunno, six months later? I was pullin out a lot of little stinging nettles out of the edge of the barley feild (I was bored, okay?), and I didn't get stung once. So maybe someone with more brains than me can maybe explain this phenomenon to me and the rest of the folks who read this here on CT. :help: :?: [/QUOTE]
