Yup and eatin' em fer greens, but tha one in yer picture has matured to much and will contain the formic acid that the little hairs contain.  There is a bulb that contains it under the hair on the plant.  The hairs are stiff and brittle and also hollow.  When you brush up against them the hair breaks off and it stiff enough it goes onder yer slinn.  The buld has a slight pressure to it and it injects the formic acid into yer skin causing the welt.  This formic acid is the same chemical that stinging ants have in their stinger.  The most common stinging ant in the US is the fire ant from the southern United States.

Bee venom's are an ezyme, ain't the same.

Ok they are most likely right but it is the enyeme that causes the reaction, cause some folks like me are only "lergic to some kinds of bees.  I ain't lergig to nettles, I'll say formic acid and enyemes.

"Well, I should go out and check on the herd. I'll should be back by sundown. If ya hear three quick shots, bring the cavalry." Slim saddles his horse and rides toward the herd.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

She looks over to Delmonico.

"And what if we hear three slow shots? Or if we hear fifteen fast shots? Or if we hear so much stuff going off we can't keep count? Do we relax and plant daisies?"

"... Or if we hear so much stuff going off we can't keep count? Do we relax and plant daisies?"

"If you're gonna transplant 'em on my grave." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"If you're gonna transplant 'em on my grave." 

"We can do that, I like daisies!" She gives a cheery smile.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Thanks, I think." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Yer most welcome!"

The yellow dog comes walking by her with something hanging out of his mouth.

"Wait a second, I recognize that glitter! That's the hind end of my wand!" She lunges and sprawls across the dirt, getting her fingers around the end of the stick. The yellow dog clamps down, bracing his legs for some serious tugging.

"I said, let go!"

The yellow dog grins around the stick as he pulls back.

"Leggo, or I'll turn you into a hamster!"

[Silver Creek Slim]

"That yaller dawg is a good retriever, but not a good giver." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

A small light bulb goes off over the Fairy Godmother's head, who is now looking frumpier than ever since she is sprawled in the dirt and all.  She gives the yellow dog a stare into his eyes....

"Drop!"

The stick falls out of his mouth and into her hand.

"Good boy, nice drop!" As she scritches him, he wags and licks at her face.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico just sits back and watches The Fairy Godmother fightin' with the stick/wand.  On his lap is a Ferry Morse Nursery catalog.  "I'll order a couple of peony bushes, very traditional to plant on graves cause they bloom "bout the time of Decoration Day."  (old name fer memorial day)

                         

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Drying the dog slobbers off the broken piece of wand, she accidently moves it in a motion that could be called a "wave" and since she was thinking of hamsters and all, Slim's horse is suddenly transformed into a giant hamster.

Of course, she doesn't notice, she wants to look at that catalog!

[Silver Creek Slim]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Slim jumps off his hor... hamster. He pulls out his Colt and fires 3 quick shots. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The scream, seeing the giant hamster, and the 3 shots, combined, make the cattle stampede toward the camp. Luckily, Slim has on the other side of the herd from camp, so he was not trampled.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Just as she is about to snag the catalog from Delmonico, she hears three shots in the distance. She pauses for about a half second, listening for more, then jumps up.

"Slim's in trouble!"

She wheels to go help, when she sees a giant hamster followed by a stampede of cattle headed their way.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

[Delmonico]

Delmonico says, "I knew Slim would cause more trouble."  With that he picks up his Sharps, fires a round into the ground in front of the herd.  The cattle turn around and run back towards Slim.

[Brazos Bucky Smith]

  What about the Giant Hamster? Delmonico, tell us what happened to the Giant hamster when ya fired that shot that turned the cattle! No, don't tell us that they ran over the fairy godmother!
