sure you werent touching white nettles? look like stinging nettles but on the stalks are white little buds? they dont sting
also nettles only sting when you brush them, they have little hooks that come off in your skin

If you cut a stinging nettle off at the stalk it won't sting

I don't - I run after people with them and touch them with it, I don't dirty myself with my own stinging nettle Steve, i'm not THAT stooopid!
EDIT: cos I fucked up the "italic" tags, maybe I am THAT[i/] stooopid after all
That's a deliberate mistake you fucks!

You would hear the squeek of the barrow before you actually saw him.

You need to break the spines on the nettle for the poison to come into contact with your skin. You do this by brushing against them, for some reason of you grab them then spines don't break.

All day yesterday was working outside near a big fook off bush of them, was plucking up courage to see if the myth is true, and i grabbed hold of one and pulled towards me and the rest followed and stung the whole of my fucking hand
was gutted!
But Its TRUE they dont sting if you squeeze them tight! I cut a leaf off, grabbed it and rubbed it on my cousins arm FLMAO! 2 mins later he has big white lumps on his arms! he wasn't happy

well done smart arse, its the same plant, when the plant grows or comes to season, the leaves start off pointed then buy the end of summer the leaves turn rounded.
