Heh, Dad usually knows best :)
Had a look for this stuff, here is a wikiwiki article: Urtica ferox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and what the hunter died from Polyneuropathy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Very interesting stuff, have never heard of Bush lawyer (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia before but upon looking at the pictures, have definitely encountered it.
Wait, what? It can kill a dog?
Enough of it can kill a person
Yikes. My next door neighbour goes there a lot with her Viszla cross. I'll let her know to be careful around the bush edge. Thanks dudes.
It's put horses on the ground in the ureweras, not sure if it's ever killed one.
Dogs seem to have a lower tolerance like they have to many other things :(
The nettles in the ureweras do seem to have a bigger kick than most places though.
Rushy
Did you ever have any dealings with the old hungarian (I think) that used to drive round minginui in a big fairmont (had a chevy before that)?
He used to carry a pair of secateurs with him to let him slip through the nasty stuff.
I'm still stinging/sore on my shin, grrr :omg:
Google stinging nettle remedeys, may have something useful.
Dougie, the native stinging nettle, ongaonga, is a deciduous plant...it is when it drops its leaves that it becomes potentially more dangerous to dogs as the sting will still be potent!! For humans who have gotten badly stung with it, lots and lots of black coffee is a good way to start!!!
Addend: the sting of the introduced nettle Urtica dioica can be relieved by rubbing dock leaves over the stung parts...it really does work!!
