country-kid 2 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 i used the good old docking leaves! just wondered if ya can rub out on because its acid that stings you, so just wondered if you could maybe neutralise the acid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest hyperion Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 screw a couple of dock leaves up into a ball then keep rolling them between your hands untill they turn to pulp and you can squeeze the juice out of them! squeeze the juice into the cup of your hand and put that on the stings dont just rub the leaves on the stings as its the sap that helps the sting away not the leaf its self and rubbing the left on your hands can make the sting itch even more! cheers hyperion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
