What do you put on a stinging nettle sting?

[LadyOfWaffle]

DS fell into a clump today and I had no idea what to do (we were out so had nothing really anyway) but DH thinks there is something you can get for things like that - is there? Thanks x

a dock leaf, they grow near nettles

Dock (sp?) leaves take the sting away. They are usually found growing near stinging nettles.

Inside of a banana skin also good.

A dose of piriton will help.

what everyone else said, works a treat

rub a dock leaf on it and take some piriton

Dock leaves definitely.
If too late then bicarb of soda dissolved in water.
Sting should naturally wear off after a couple of hours regardless.

Really? I thought that was a school day myth! He is in bed now, but good to know for next time!

lavender oil, always carry some with me cos you can use it on cuts as well to disinfect
