  Actually, people use nettle bouquets to beat themselves with in sauna. It has a pain relieving effect for rheumatic and nerve pain. Only younger nettles are used which are gathered in may-june. You first dip them in hot water for 1 minute, then 3 minutes cold water, then 1 minute hot again and 3 minutes cold. Then it is ready to be used for spanking in the sauna. It feels like all of your skin has an orgasm, pretty wild.

  Small remider than when injected, serotonin basically overdrives pain receptors. That’s why it’s in there. It won’t make you happy. It will make you feel even more in hell. (I know it’s a joke. But come on i couldn’t resist)

    Would it be possible to genetically engineer nettles which inject helpful or recreational drugs in small doses instead of itchy stuff?

      Possible? Maybe. 🤷

      Ethical? Possibly. 🤷

      Legal? Not in a million years 😔

  Serotonin can’t past the blood-brain barrier.

  You have two serotonin households and it serves different regulation purposes in your body and brain.

  Not a good idea to confuse Nettles with a fucking Cactus

  The serotonin keeps you from acclimating to the pain.

  A botany teacher I once had would rub her hands with nettles every morning to help with her arthritis. She said the increased blood flow from the inflammation helped somehow. Reminds me of the people who get stung by bees to help with MS.

    It’s called urtification (after the latin for nettles, Urtica dioica) , and humans have been doing it forever for exactly the reasons she mentioned.

    formic acid is also a rapid fixitive and decalcifier. We use it to treat bones to make them softer for histology so we can slice them into 4um cross sections (thats how microscope slides are made, then we stain them with pretty colours)

    You body will acclimate to the feeling after repeated exposure.

    My partner spent so many years removing nettle from wetland restoration sites that she doesn’t even feel it anymore.

    So she was literally fighting inflammation with inflammation? That’s either badass, stupid, or both 😄

  Wait till you hear about Gympie gympie plant, which is related to stinging nettle but on steroids, and is more potent

      Any processing removed the stinging. They are a real super super food high in pretty much every vitamin and mineral. I drink nettle tea often in the winter

  I sat on a nettle accidentally once in my 20’s and now I never sit down on the ground outside.

    Do you normally just back it up until you feel something to sit on?

    It’s because of things like this I don’t go outside. Outside is scary. Cave. Safe.
