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)

    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)

    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.

    The serotonin keeps you from acclimating to the pain.

    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.
