The stuff you really have to watch out for around here is stinging nettle. The entire plant is covered in hollow hairs that act like hypodermic needles and are filled with a nasty cocktail of histamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, formic acid, tartaric acid, and oxalic acid. Even the slightest touch will inject these chemicals and give you a painful rash.

This is just a little baby plant, it can grow up to 2 meters in height.

But if you're willing to try harvesting it, nettles are highly nutritious with up to 25% protein, carotenoids, vitamins B2, B5, C, E, and K, and a taste similar to spinach. Cooking, wilting or drying destroys the sting.

Goats will not eat the plant while it is fresh, but once it wilts or dries out they'll devour it.

I unwittingly walked through nettle to get a soccer ball as a kid. That shit hurts.
