Small remider than when injected, serotonin basically overdrives pain receptors. That's why it's in there. It won't make you happy. It will make you feel even more in hell. (I know it's a joke. But come on i couldn't resist)

You had me at "injecting a cock-"
A botany teacher I once had would rub her hands with nettles every morning to help with her arthritis. She said the increased blood flow from the inflammation helped somehow. Reminds me of the people who get stung by bees to help with MS.
formic acid is also a rapid fixitive and decalcifier. We use it to treat bones to make them softer for histology so we can slice them into 4um cross sections (thats how microscope slides are made, then we stain them with pretty colours)
It's called urtification (after the latin for nettles, Urtica dioica) , and humans have been doing it forever for exactly the reasons she mentioned.
You body will acclimate to the feeling after repeated exposure.
My partner spent so many years removing nettle from wetland restoration sites that she doesn't even feel it anymore.
So she was literally fighting inflammation with inflammation? That's either badass, stupid, or both 😄
Actually, people use nettle bouquets to beat themselves with in sauna. It has a pain relieving effect for rheumatic and nerve pain. Only younger nettles are used which are gathered in may-june. You first dip them in hot water for 1 minute, then 3 minutes cold water, then 1 minute hot again and 3 minutes cold. Then it is ready to be used for spanking in the sauna. It feels like all of your skin has an orgasm, pretty wild.
I heard it can be made into a pesto-like dip
Spicy pesto
Not a good idea to confuse Nettles with a fucking Cactus
Wait till you hear about Gympie gympie plant, which is related to stinging nettle but on steroids, and is more potent
I sat on a nettle accidentally once in my 20's and now I never sit down on the ground outside. I'd rather deal with a broken bone, tbh.
Do you normally just back it up until you feel something to sit on?
It's because of things like this I don't go outside. Outside is scary. Cave. Safe.
