[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 304041, member: 1963"] Glad you are feeling better! I got into nettles for the first time when I "copped a squat" in the middle of a patch of the buggers. If you think on your feet is bad... My nearest neighbor in Germany turned me onto baking soda and water as a treatment. It works very well and it doesn't turn your anatomy pink like calamine does. I use baking soda for a lot of skin irritations. It also helps with poison ivy and the like, and with insect bites and stings. Weird nettle fact is that if you pick the young shoots (wear gloves), you can boil them down and eat them as greens. Apparently the cooking gets rid of the toxins. I haven't had the guts to try it, but while I like "greens", I don't much like them stewed. [/QUOTE]
