There is a plant that grows in parts of Australia that when touched will embed tiny hairs in your skin causing extremely painful stinging that can last for years. The recommended treatment? Pour hydrochloric acid on the affected area and remove the hairs with a hair removal strip. Oh and if you break the tips off and leave them in the skin that shit hurts worse.

Is it worse than nettle leaves? Those things stung the shit out of me growing up.

I have never been stung by nettle but reading about the symptoms from this beast I would think it is worse.

You don't need to pour HCL on nettle stings. It's enuogh not being a bitch about it.
