Nettle rash

[potty64]

I've just returned from a cycle ride and notice I've been stung by road side nettles! Any suggestions for the quickest way to relieve the stinging?

[daffy654]

Bicarbonate of soda mixed into a paste, or a cool bath with bicarbonate of soda in it.

[potty64]

Thx Daffy. Shall search my cupboards for some B of Soda!

We used to rub dock leaves on a nettle sting when we were kids, it did work.

[boxtops]

Yep, dock leaves, you always find docks growing alongside nettles.

[daffy654]

Dock leaves do work, it would mean potty64 would have to go out hunting for them though.

[woofgang]

antihistamine tablets or anything that works on mozzie bites

[Anngel]

Tea tree or lavender are quite good too.

[Sqad]

Antihistamine cream OR hydrocortisone cream and if they are not available a frozen pack of peas applied.

[cathfromsaron]

dock leaves, usually found where nettles exist OR take an antihistermine*? (apologies for spelling*)
