I started eating Stinging Nettle because my new friends made a tradition of eating the 1st green thing to come up. The previous year, I hadn't been able to walk through the tall grass behind my shop without using a respirator and then washing up to avoid major hay fever. With the Nettles, I had no symptoms at all, and there sure wasn't a placebo effect, either. I found that it always took 5-7 days for the Nettles to work, but ended up just needing 3 or 4 cups of tea per week. I'd use a dozen or so half-grown top leaves, simmered for ten minutes. They can also be just thrown in with a stir-fry or other vegetable matter.
