Hey guys. Yea the place I took this pic was full of nettle, like you couldn't walk much without it rubbing against my pants. But I was well dressed for the occasion. In anycase I am lucky because the few times I have come into contact with it, all I get is a mild itch for a few minutes.
I remember when I was taking wetland's botany the professor's guest for the day took us out to an arboretum he ran. They had tons of wetlands and of course wetland's plants. He had us all touch this mysterious plant that none of us new. Man, that was a nasty trick. Some of the other people really got angry and were in pain for a long while, but I was over it in just a few minutes. I thought it was funny and touched it a second time, same result.
