Back on topic:

Anti-itch drugs, usually in the form of creams containing antihistaminics or hydrocortisone, can provide relief from the symptoms of being stung by nettles. Many folk remedies, often ineffective, exist for treating the itching, including horsetail (Equisetopsida spp.), leaf of dock (Rumex spp.), Jewelweed, (Impatiens capensis and Impatiens pallida), mud, saliva, baking soda.

Like a jelly fish sting, the best cure is peeing on it.

I ended up in hospital overnight after falling unconscious in a patch of stinging nettles with nothing but a pair of shorts on. My entire body was covered from head to toe.
