[dave2222]

iv just been stung by a nettle in the garden' i thought the weed was dead so iv gone to pull it out by its stem and got a really sharpe pain' i cant see anything there and theres no broken skin but now my finger fells a little num now and i cant put preasure on it! do you think theres something in it?

[dot.hawkes]

lol nettles give you raised white lumps, quite sore they are but it won't do anything but burn, have you not got a dick leaf in the garden to rub on it, best cure

[enidblyton]

Dock weed try rubbing it on the nettle sting old wives tale but it does work

[oldhamfan]

Yeah, poison. Google search for dock leaves mate (so you know what you're looking for), and you will probably find one next to where the nettle was. Good luck.

Most likely gangrene. My suggestion would be to amputate the finger immediately before it spreads and infects the rest of your body.

lol enid, old ways are still the best eh?

[B00]

LOL @ dottys suggestion of a DICK leaf!!!!!

[enidblyton]

[Nemesis9]

dave, you need to get someone to wee on it for you....or is that jellyfish? Give it a try anyway and let us know how you get on!

[rugeleyboy]

whats that bloke who teaches you to live in the wild?????

anyway..he says you have to get loads of dock leaves and squeeze out the juices to heel the burn??

or you could just p1ss on it?? thats my perversion method, it cures most things, even headaches!!!

[dave2222]

if you read it properly i didnt sting it on the leaf it was on the spiky stem!!!!!

[rugeleyboy]

nemesis.....your as bad as me!!!!......great!!

[Nemesis9]

Yes, and coming to you live from a secret location in the west midlands!!! Good on ya Rugeleyboy!

[dot.hawkes]

oops, i am tired, there isn't a spikey stem it is a hairy stem that does not sting, only the tips of the leaves sting, maybe you touched something else then, nettle stings are defo white bumps

[B00]

Could there have been a wasp on it?

[dave2222]

no it was the stem!

[enidblyton]

yep sounds like a wasp boo, i had this problem weeding the borders kneeled down on the lavender and sting i knelt on a wasp lol

[B00]

Is it effecting your humour as well dave?

[dave2222]

its wearing off no so dont need no more answers tar

[jno]

if it was a wasp, watch out. First sting sensitises you a bit and warns your body's defences. Second one they overreact madly and you get horribly swollen and painful. One wasp sting is always a warning not to get another one.

Put some TCP on it .
