Thread: Plants - the nasty kinds

Dougie there is a fair bit do dock about so go looking

It attracts dead dear...they always seem to end up in a patch of it. Sometimes I tingle for several days if I have been caught by it.

An old remedy is to rub the tingling area with a dock leaf.

There's a lot of it in the Nthn Wairarapa and I've seen a dog become very ill through being stung by it on one of the Ripia River private blocks.

Dougie, you will get to know the sorts of habitat where it prefers to grow and learn to spot it easily by second nature. Getting stung by it speeds up the learning process.
