20090611 - Grasping the Nettle

...in an (ahem) scientific attempt to see if dock leaves really do have the cure!
But not being 100% sure it was a dock leaf and having stung myself last week, I chickened out! I need a 'volunteer' ;o))

Science and medicine, it's never worth the suffering just to see if the medicine works.

Woose! Dock leaves really do work...as Neil says, it's science wot causes it!

P.S , they make your hands green though !

Dock leaves really do work ! thats why you often find them growing near nettles ...their juice cancels out the nettle sting , its scientific !!!!
