    No, dock will draw the sting from the introduced nettle...Urtica dioica.

    Wharengarara (Pimelea prostrata), also known as NZ Daphne and Pinatoro is found pretty much throughout the North Island. It bears reddish to white berries which are edible and could sustain you for a time...avoid eating the foliage!




    This is a lovely little plant...lizards like it probably because of the insects attracted to its flowers and fruit.

    If you don't understand what that means Scouser, he is implying you need to harden the fuck up.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    We all need a gentle reminder sometimes.

    I would suggest an antihistamine cream might be better. The known toxic substances are mostly acetylcholine, 5- hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), and histamine.(Clark, 1993; Connor, 1977).

    Kawakawa leaves (Macropiper excelsum, Pepper Tree) is a traditional Maori remedy but has limited use as the plant is mostly coastal.

    Kawakawa is a very cool plant.

    Can use it as a pepper/spice substitute.

    Helps for toothache

    Burning wet leaves is a good insecticide for sand flies.
