Question

How do I soothe a burn from a stinging nettle?

Answer 1

Milk. well thats what i rememba be sure this may not be right lol. I fell over in a little patch of it wen i was little it hurt like h**l.

Answer 2

Put some Witch Hazel on it.  Hydrocortizone doesn't seem to help me.

In a pinch if you're out in the woods, you could put some mud on it until you get home and that will soothe it.

Answer 3

some fancy recipe here: http://www.ehow.com/how_2278523_treat-st...

or - i think chamomile lotion might work but also try the above.

Answer 4

Cider Vinegar does the trick, or rub a plantain leaf on it. Plantain usually grows in the same environment.
