I wonder if it was plantain. I use plantain on bee stings for an almost
instant reduction in swelling and pain to nearly nothing, works better
than
any other remedy I've ever tried. Never tried it on nettle stings
though.

My memorable experience with nettles was when I was 12 years old,
visiting
friends of my parents in Scotland. I was playing street tennis with
a
daughter of their friends when I missed the ball. I went to fetch it
and
plunged my hand into a patch of nettles. I have no idea what it was,
but
the girl I was playing with ran over, grabbed a bunch of leaves from
some
plant and rubbed it on my hand and the irritation was almost
immediately
abated. I've always wondered what this obviously common folk remedy
was.

When I lived in the Cascade foothills, my place had every kind of
wildlife from elk to newts (even the mountain beaver). The most
exciting
(?) episode in the garden itself happened while I was showing a
visiting
couple the rock garden, accompanied by one of my female Malamutes.
Suddenly the dog pounced on a big rock, shoved it aside, and dug
quickly. She had found a nest of baby rabbits. She ate them right
in
front of my visitors. Fortunately they were outdoors people -- the
man
was an ichthyologist -- and were not horrified by nature red in
tooth
and claw.
