Dear me...
I guess I have a lot to say, don't I?
Well, to start off, for those of you who don't know, stinging nettle is a plant that is covered in millions of tiny poisonous barbs. If you brush up with it too violently, the barbs will release all kinds of chemicals into your skin. One such chemical is formic acid. It WILL burn.
Also mentioned was plantain. If you know what it looks like, it's a useful thing to know about, since when applied to areas touched by stinging nettle, bug bites, poison ivy sores, and other such things, it will make you feel better. Applying more stinging nettle will not.
Alright... so I guess I haven't done a comic in... a while. I must say I had a bit of a shitty couple of weeks. After too many visits to the hospital, I've been diagnosed with chronic motor tic disorder. It's a lesser known variant of Tourette's syndrom. Not the greatest thing to be diagnosed with, I can assure you. I suppose that's a good enough reason for my absence... and if it isn't: bite me.
Cheers,
Alex
