Randall, all day, I was studying it's look alike which is white snakeroot. This is SUPER toxic. Lincoln's mother died from drinking milk from a cow that ate snake root. The thistle has spines and it kind of tore up my thumb and I looked really closely and saw little needles on the stem.
The look alike does not have it but it is scary nonetheless lol ------------------ Want to Read Simple, Fun,Sexy Articles on Astrology? Check Me Out, DUDE. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

Sorry I don't have experience with nettles. They are good for the liver, though. IP: Logged |

Nettles taste like spinach but much better. They are amazing. Sow thistle is amazing too. They are amazing steamed with a little olive oil and salt! I am working on the next two--chickweed and day flower.

Perhaps we should cultivate that which is healthiest and most abundant? But that would take all the fun out of discovering and foraging nature's bounty.IP: Logged |
