RE: Jackpot! Found stinging nettle in the yard!
So if you rub against it this will give you a rash, but if you eat it then you will get all them good benifits from it? I did not know something could do both, bad and good for you. Where is this thing found at? what part of the country? Thanks for this good info.
Pretty much yes. While fresh, the tiny spines causes a rash when rubbed against skin. It must be dried and/or cooked before eating. I haven't tried eating it yet, it smells like spinach. It grows all throughout the US. @ironshield
