This kind of grass stings people. It used to scare people, but now it is planted in large quantities, and some people rely on it to make a fortune.

Walking in the countryside, in addition to having fun, you need to always pay attention to the safety around you. Just like summer, wild animals often appear in the mountains, not to mention wild boar, but those poisonous snakes. It is estimated that they will be scared out of their wits and their feet will not listen to them.

Needless to say, the danger of animals is known to be vigilant, but dangerous plants are often ignored. Some poisonous weeds, with bright appearance, are often taken home by people, even eaten as food, and eventually lose their lives. Some plants make people itch and feel uncomfortable when touched.

Today, we are going to introduce a stinging weed with a high risk factor. I used to live in the countryside. When I saw this weed, I hid for fear of being stung by it. So why does this weed sting people? Do they have thorns like bees? With questions, let's learn about this thorny grass together.

The scientific name of thorn grass is actually nettle, and some people call it scorpion grass. Scorpion grass used to appear in the countryside or next to toilets. From the outside, it is not much different from ordinary weeds, and it is a perennial plant.

Look carefully, this weed has a layer of fluff and a layer of dense thorns on its surface. The most powerful thing about it is this dense layer of thorns. Although the thorn is small, it is very powerful. If people's skin comes into contact with this dense thorn, it will penetrate into our skin, which will cause skin inflammation, from redness to swelling, even more painful than being bitten by a wasp. This is why nettles sting people.

When I was a child, I experienced nettle stings several times, and each time it was very uncomfortable, but the old people often took out remedies to treat them. Now I have forgotten how the old people take drugs, only knowing that nettles hurt people.

Urtica is a common plant, which is very common in rural areas and widely distributed in China. Nowadays, it is reported that this nettle has become a rare commodity. Some people make a fortune from it, and some people plant it in large quantities. What's going on here?

According to the author's understanding, nettle has become a popular wild vegetable. Many areas have the habit of eating nettle leaves, which are said to be nutritious and delicious. Then how to eat this thorny grass? Aren't there many thorns, and people will be allergic when they touch them?

In fact, this is because of the experience of the older generation. The older generation told us that although nettles have dense thorns, their bristles can be destroyed after being boiled in water. Such nettles are delicious wild vegetables.

So how do you eat nettles? The first step is naturally to boil nettles in water. After deburring, it can be used for cold salad, stir-frying or cooking soup. Everything is delicious.

Nettle is also a good feed in breeding, but it needs to be separated from livestock when planting to avoid being stung by nettles. Later, after scientific verification, nettles are not stinging people, but have a toxicity, which will cause skin damage after touching the skin, just like scalding. Some people with ulterior motives will make a fuss about nettles to prevent theft.

Today, this nettle has become a cash crop. It is said that the yield per mu can reach 2000 Jin, and the market price is as high as 1 1 yuan per Jin.

But at present, there is no large-scale planting, only in a few areas. It is also an example that some people make a fortune from it. Never plant with the wind, and don't envy others to get rich.
