Stinging Nettles Sting
« on: June 28, 2003, 02:52:01 pm »
I spent most of today clearing out nettles bigger than my house so I can paint my Dad's fifty million mile fence. They were so huge they kept breaking the strimmer so I ended up hacking away at them with a verrry sharp scythe (we like scythes .. they are fun!). But as a result I'm now covered in stinging nettle stings lol.

They're not painful, they're just damn itchy annoying things.. anyone know how to put a stop to them with simple household ingrediants? I have no special creams or ointments or 'anti sting' solutions =/

Does wholegrain mustard mixed with household bleach work? =P

Oh yes!

You're not suppose to pick those when you're on the Oregon Trail.

to calm the storm in my heart
i've never been the praying kind
but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"

Aww thanks! I do know some wonderful people don't I =)

They've stopped bothering me now. So I guess the best cure is a bit of patience .. or maybe it was those cookies I ate .. we shall never know =)
