The little bug who reminds us to like the video 😅😅😅 nice one!

Thanks for answering a question that “millions” have probably asked. As usual, great videos, images and explanations that make your channel a must for anyone interested in Microscopy.!

I use stinging nettle to help with arthritis. Nice video thanks mate

Very fun. When I was a child, in the 3rd or 4th grade, my friends and I played near a large field of nettles. We would occasionally go in there and get stung. But after some time we would play in there more and eventually it was not a problem we would run through the nettles and barely a problem.

When I lived in Germany for a few years, stinging nettles were everywhere. A German lady said that these nettles were boiled and eaten after WWII like spinach. What happens to those spikes in boiling? Do they soften? Under the microscope, those spikes sure look vicious and unfriendly to the digestive tract.

nice video, Oliver - love the little aphid reminding folks to subscribe 🙂

Wow... so interesting and... incredible... and beautiful!!!

Nice, we must be thinking along the same lines because I went out looking to nettles last week to investigate these spiky hairs. Unfortunately, the forest area I chose to search had recently had all the ground cover removed so I was unsuccessful this time. It was good that you did this to satisfy my own curiosity on this matter. Thank you.

Thank you little aphid. I gave a like 😋

Thank you!!!

hi MH. i am sooo happy you looked at my favorite plant: although i had plenty in my native belgium, not much was found here in nz. but i have a patch now, and brush my hands and feet against the spikes, to promote circulation and thus relieve arthritis. i looove the soup: it is my favorite soup in the world. didn't think of putting the spikes on a slide 🙄. please try the soup, it is so good for you

This channel is amazing!! Keep up the great work!

beautiful images, thank you!

Exceptional.

Can you please unbox prepared slides, I like your videos because they are informative

thnx

Stinging nettles do not hurt when touched, you hurt when you touch them.

@MH- please wear long sleeve shirts if going near ticks, mosquitoes, poison ivy, etc....

Stinging nettles contain formic acid, exactly the same as ant stings.

Coyote Peterson put out a video of him getting stung by stinging nettles, which is a GREAT companion video to this one, and vice versa.
