Question

Ankles covered in nettle stings, help!? Any household ingredients I can use?

Answer 1

Look for dock leaves which are a broad leaf plant usually growing near the nettles.  Rub on the legs and as the juice from the leaf is rubbed on the ankles it should ease the discomfort.

Answer 2

pee on it

Answer 3

If, around the nettles, there are large floppy leaves with red spots on them (dock leaves), pick them and rub them on the nettle stings. Also, try aloe vera gel

Answer 4

VINEGARR!!

dont pee on urself

Answer 5

definitely vinegar it is great stings a little but soon takes symptoms away i used it on ant bites and was like wow it works x

Answer 6

Bicarbonate of soda  

Answer 7

use tape to remove as many nettles as posible. Duct tape warmed with a hair dryer works best.  Take a cold bath and use tape again before your skin rewarms.  DO NOT RUB!

as for making the pain go away good luck. mother nature gave nettles a very good defense system.

Answer 8

Anything acidic.

Try ketchup or vinegar

Answer 9

dockan leaves - old remedy but works !!!

Answer 10

Vinegar will help with nettle stings!!

Answer 11

Stinging nettles normally grow next to another weed called dock leaf.

Just rub this on the sores and it will go.

Answer 12

Try vinegar and you will be surprised how effective it is. Near all thistles you will usually find Dock Leaves growing. These are very big and wide and very green leaves at ground level. When stung pick off a leaf straight away and rub it on the sting. That is another of natures special little secrets. Failing that then the stings will go away within a few hours.

Answer 13

it sounds repulsive but it is relatively well known fact that urinating on the stings helps a lot
