Yeah...except that dock leaves ARE FUCKING USELESS!
Seriously, they do next to fuck all if you fall in a ditch full of nettles (I speak from experience on this). In fact oddly the only thing which soothes the stings is to cut grapes in half and rub them on the stings.

But I stung myself on some nettles once
and the dock leaves helped...

Well next time it happens, try spitting on an ordinary leaf and using that instead.
I bet it will have an almost identical effect.
