  My 18 year old nephew suffered all his life with hay-fever in summer  . Last year i got him to sting himself with nettles every time he visited me . This summer he said that his hay-fever is almost gone.  Nettles have a antihistamine that helps against hay-fever.  Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

  Thank you for the concise explanation of the cordage twist. &nbsp;I have watched, in order of, fifty videos of this process, and came away from all of them wondering what the heck I just watched. &nbsp;Yours is the first which actually explained, in plain English, what was taking place during the twisting. &nbsp;I am so happy to finally understand! &nbsp;Now, it&apos;s out to the backyard, to conquer the menacing stinging nettle patch growing around my chicken coup. &nbsp; YAY!

  I have a big growth of nettles out back of my shop. This demo will help me put them to use. Good info and instruction. Thank you.

  To keep the cortage going add new fiber in toward the bottom and keep twisting. Start of uneven at the ends so that new strands are staggered for strength purposes.
