Nice, listen mate, in Europe we have plants called stinging nettles and they only grow where humans have been living or walking by they have been around for thousands of years so if they grow over there try searching around them areas, when they have creamy yellow flowers on they wont sting you and if you ever get stung grab a Doc leaf and squish it up and rub it on the area.

And when they eventually stop stinging (within an Hour) the itch and it goes away and a few days later they might itch again,

Hippie type cook them like cabbage but they will make your tongue go black or make Tea with them

	Cool thanks mate, will be on the lookout for them.

Make sure you wear heavy Jeans and that you don't wear thin socks welly boots are best, and when they sting it feels like an electric shock but not as Painfull, The Plant has little hairs on them and its them that Zap ya just like a jelly fish does but with a happier endng and you get to go home afterwards

In Oz theres one called a moonlighter and it can drive you Nuts, My cousins horse got stung and it killed its self, and one bloke got hit on the nose by one of its berries and he said it felt like his nose was going big then small and big again because it was throbbing all night long and that was just a Berry hitting him,
