Thread: Urtica ferox / ongaonga /tree nettle

The shock of getting an unexpected sting is worse than the actual sting I reckon.
I get in the habit of touching it on purpose, tip of the finger kinds sucks but on the arm and legs it can have a simar effect to arnica cream or otherwise, the burning and numbing sensation is actually something I've developed a fondness for on sore muscles.
It's also perfectly edible when boiled and makes a nice tea, good bush tucka.
