Do nettle Stings help cure Hay fever 

No, but if you wipe your arse with them  they put the pain from haemorrhoids into perspective.

Onion and brown sugar makes a great cough syrup slice the onion across ways and layer in the sugar like a double sandwich stand in a bowl and the juice will start flowing couple of spoonfuls does wonders

The old rural gardeners used to nettle their hands for the screws

Must be a nice warming homely tingle of a morning, nature provides

Honey local to the area you live in is better for hay fever but not your local Tesco proper honey from a local bee keeper

It's not when you don't like it

I know a few people who take a spoonful of local honey for hay fever and they all say it works

Wasn’t it something to do with rubbing a silver or copper coin on a wart and giving the coin to someone ?

Cheers.

A penny for your wart.

Another method was rub a piece of liver on the wart,bury the liver in the garden,as it rotted the wart would dissapear.

I stayed in a bamboo hut years ago in the southern Philippines,a deeply religious/superstitious area,the old lady who owned the hut gave me a dried out stingray tale to put under the bed,it kept mananangals and suchlike creatures at bay if they approached at night,it must have worked as I never saw any.

I was visiting my pals Polish dad one time and my missus asked why there was garlic on every windowsill, “to keep out the vampires of course ! “ he replied .

My pal lives in Pampanga, he should fit right in
