[@bigboredthing]

Stinging nettles are found absolutely everywhere here in the UK. I once had a rather large patch growing at the bottom of my garden. I was going to get rid of it, but then a man tried climbing over my fence one night trying to break in. He climbed up on my plum tree, which promptly snapped and he dropped 6 feet down into said patch of nettles. Funniest thing I've ever seen. I kept them after that as biological home security!

[@TheGreyAreaBetween]

I was gonna say this is exactly what I grew up with. I always walked the dogs as a kid and a lot of the pathways were overgrown with stingers and I would always use doc leaves as a remedy. I never really knew if they helped more than any other relatively moist leaf or if it was psychological, but it did feel a little better than nothing.

The folk tales here say that getting stung by stinging nettle is beneficial for blood vessels and your circulatory system in general. Additionally, unless you are having an allergic reaction (which is pretty rare) to the nettle, the stinging is completely harmless. Another fun fact, the nettle only has trichomes while it is young in the spring and loses trichomes as it grows older. During autumn the nettle doesn't sting at all. So big up for Coyote for doing the video when the nettle is at its most stingy even though this pain is basically nothing compared to all the hell he endured. We eat the nettle in the autumn due to its high iron content. I can't really stand the taste, but a lot of people here enjoy it.

[@UberMegustador]

are you from Romania or the balkans?

[@buckjohnson3212]

Stinging nettle is currently being studied for pain relief in chronic joint pain! If you routinely sting around the affected joint, a few times a week, it can help relieve that chronic pain long-term.

[@robsorgdrager8477]

The native people use the nettles for many things. I've heard a tea made from the Nettle and pine needles is good for making a " detox" for your system ( gets your bowels moving ) .

[@cuthroatmaster6933]

it grows in my yard and I eat it and make tea with it every year. and i think coyote wimped out on this one just because i pick them without gloves and they can only sting you if you lightly brush on them. i used to smack them with my hand to mess with people.

[@blakepowell4206]

Where do you live to eat stinging neddle and how do you cook it, I'm a professional chef and I've never heard of it

[@Zerq9]

I would like to say there is a leaf that grows close called the “dock leaf” and it helps the pain a lot, here in the uk you get stung left, right and centre! So them growing around the stinging nettles is a life saver. There is also a leaf that looks a lot like a nettle, it has one different distinct feature and that is that it has white flowers with it.

[@BlackWolf728]

This guy's going for the world record for the first human being to be stung by over 200 things

[@AprilRodriguez-yb2re]

[@buckjager2897]

so fun fact, in Germany, people make soup, tea, fertilizer, and also use it to improve blood circulation by...yes you guessed it rubbing it on the arms and legs. In many places, it is not allowed to cut it down because of bee, butterflies, and other insects like the blossom.

[@user-og3uk5fu4o]

Back in elementary school I would pick nettles up barehanded and tell other kids that it was a species that didn't sting and they'd go for it and get stung. A couple of times they even thought the nettle in my hand was special so they took it and got stung again. I got stung way more than them while "demonstrating" how it doesn't sting, but it was worth it.

[@stephaniedunham]

I just saw a video where a woman with arthritis and numbness/coldness in her hands took her hands and arms and raked them all over this nettles plant and it helped! Her condition is unknown by doctors and she found this method of essentially stinging herself all over her arms helped better than any medication. The more you know!

New Zealand has a species called the Ongaonga - The Tree Nettle, or Urtica Ferox. The nettles on the leaves are huge and look like spiked glass, and the shrub grows up to 3m tall. And yes, it is both toxic and beyond painful to be stung by it, causing ataxia, confusion, hyper salivation and breathing problems. It's one of the few plants in the country that has actually killed at least one person.

A week ago I went on a kayaking trip near my home town in new Hampshire. While sitting down for lunch, my left hand grazed by one of these nettles.

Your one tough cookie. Thanks for the science you teach on your channel. I admire you going through this for science lol.

You just told us that a previous plant still affects you. Then proceeded to use the exact same spot for this one. Results are immediately tainted 😕

[@lydiamvaughan]

True but he said it’s only sometimes so maybe it doesn’t affect it here? Probably would have been better to use the other though you’re right

[@metrikal1]

I tried the jewelweed on a nettle sting before and it worked great, after I used it the only symptom left was my skin felt slightly sensitive, no pain at all. The technique I used was to take a small wad of leaves and roughly roll them in my palm until it started to feel wet, you need the juice, then just use that on the sting

[@sehnisweet343]

I once accidentally brushed my fingers against stinging nettle and it was so scary for a bit because i had no idea what was happening, i was rlly young and didn’t know about the nettle, but my mom yelled to run down to the creek and coat my fingers with cold creek mud and that really helped actually- the relief of something cold and wet was great

I was in Rwanda climbing up to Diane Fossey’s home. I read about stinging nettle before I got there and the article said to wear gloves.

The top of the leaves cant sting you, so if you ever need to handle one and dont have gloves you can push a leaf against the stem and use that to grab it.

I lived in Washington state and was stung many times by nettles. Sword fern spores can help when you are unable to find anything else. The use of beer and baking soda helps a little but often just enduring the burning, pain, and itching is all you can do. Then again drinking rum and coak can help to make the time go by. The only thing that really helped was the fern. It often grows in the same area. It will counter the itching and burning pain. It will still be there but much lessened.

Coyote.. you should do poison oak/ivy next!! You should show the reaction on one arm and on the other arm you can show how to prevent it with the technu antidote. Free idea on me!! (I just had a badddd experience where I didn’t even know I had been exposed to the plants so I could not prevent it.. I think it would be important to show people that it is preventable.)

[@stoniemontana8792]

Man i can't count the amount of times I've been stung by this plant. The worst one was when I fell into a whole bush face first and no t-shirt on trying to get a Frisbee that fell in to it. My mate wasn't strong enough to hold me and he felt so bad and kept apologising all day and on the way back home 😂 but I've been stung so much by it that the pain doesn't really affect me anymore, but the itching man! That's really the worst part off it!

[@matteoiaciofano7049]

Love your vids man keep it up 😊

finally a nettle video

I know right ❤

[@BeastGamer3082.]

My friend actually got stung by the plant while we were planting a tree he said it hurt but it calmed down after a little while and he was fine

[@Dahxelb]

As a kid I once stumbled and fell into a patch of stinging nettles. Since it was warm I basically only had shorts and a shoes, so I got stung basically all over. Despite stinging nettles being very tame, it's still an experience I remember.

[@Milovan1]

That one is not bad at all, in a way its used as natural medicine in Serbia. So some might say its healthy. It pains for 10-15 mins dont scratch it and you are good.

[@melaniefennell6943]

It is very healthy! 😊

Hey coyote I love your vids and I am an herbalist, so I know about the stinging nettle and another thing that helps with the stings is yellow dock. Put the leaf on your area that you got stung and it will take the nettles out to of your skin. PLEASE READ THIS COMMENT ❤

[@felixhenson9926]

Forager here, a plantain poultice will also help!

[@aw7250]

had WAY to many encounters with stinging nettle during my trail construction days. Brought back unpleasant memories.

[@FlowHD]

I remember tumbling from my backyard slide, landing in a heap of stinking nettles, only in my swimming shorts. The resulting discomfort rendered every step an agony to walk.

[@karatgaming5792]

Dude ran out of bugs to get stung by and lizards to get bit by, the fact that he's continuing his sting analysis on plants really shows how determined Coyote is!

[@jjc958]

It's funny, I'm watching this and it's so high production and the nettles are being handled so carefully but growing up me and my friends used to slap them on each other just for fun😂 by the way I love the videos keep up the good work

[@melaniefennell6943]

Haha, well if you did that for fun you must have had a lot of the plant near by and yellow dock 😅

I remember hiking around a river and needing to use the bathroom seemingly out of nowhere. So I found a tree and relieved myself. I then wiped with a leaf of some plant I found nearby and immediately regretted it. When I tell you for months it was itching I am not joking. Severe itching for months and the itching didn’t go away until almost two years later. Sometimes it wouldn’t itch for a month or two and sometimes it’d itch for weeks at a time. The worst part is for the first four months it was nonstop and the worst. By far the worst pain I’ve ever felt and it was prolonged.

[@Zarglog]

I fell into a ditch of that stuff when I was 6 years old. It's just itchy honestly. I was covered with blisters and I turned out alright. Antihistamines is the way to go. This plant makes good tea and nutrients for plants after being soaked.

Stinging nettles are found in the state of Washington as well. Along with devils club. In the temperate rainforest of Western Washington, one of the remedies we use to treat stinging nettles is the Giant Sword Fern. It’s found in abundance all over Western Washington

This dude is at my park and I always wanted to meet him and I am so mad that I drove past him thinking it was a random park ranger making a series or video about our environment 😒😒😒 Thank you for all the entertainment and education you bring Coyote! Been watching you since I was a youngling in High school 2014

youtube is so unfair, this guy has gone through so much pain and suffering and some guy who plays games for a living has over half this guys subs. Brave Wilderness needs more subs!

I agree we have a bunch in ontario and would like to see what to do in emergencies and what damage it does.

[@metalhead678]

In the balkans, specifically Montenegro where i am from, we usually make stinging nettle "proja" which is like a thin bread that has various plants and cheeses added to it, and the nettle one is the tastiest imo! Also, we make tea, and use it for circulation and some say its good against mosquitoes here

[@PixiePrincess501]

I've seen a few people make tea out of stinging nettles. It seems the process makes it edible. (But obviously, after boiling the leaves, the tea must be strained to avoid consuming any remaining bits.)

[@Skiller191]

Being from the UK, we have Stinging nettles literally everywhere. We used to push each other into nettle bushes for a laugh. The Dock leaf takes the sting away. I personally enjoy the sting.

when i was about 9 i jumped over a wall into a field. i caught my shoes as i jumped and ended up on my back in nettles and i was paralyzed in pain. it took me a while to move because i was overwhelmed. i finally managed to crawl out and stagger home. we use vinegar as a remedy here. me and a friends also used to have nettle fights. nettle tea is also a remedy for gout and hay fever!

[@dm_katy2263]

We also have Stinging nettle here in germany, and an entire forest of them in my family's garden, though we did manage to get it under control (more or less) So yeah, getting stung by these is nothing new here. Something in our garden that also helps is mint
