| Hey there, I need a favor.
I live the greater Toronto area in Ontario, Canada. The plant/weed pictured here grows in a catwalk linking a street to a local park. When you touch it you instantly feel needles under the skin and break out in hives . I'm not the only one with this issue, my friends have also experienced this over the years. http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p516/runningnowhere1/5ad04602.jpg Ran into it again the other day, want to finally know wtf it is. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

| Stinging nettle. It is worth reading the Wikipedia page about it, as it's kind of an interesting plant. I've been known to eat it now and then. |

| And the internet wins. 7 minutes to answer a question that has been bugging me for years. Thanks. I went back and took a second look tonight, can definitely see the barbs on the plant. Thanks! |
