Description: A picture titled āRussian plantsā in a 3 x 3 grid with one of the grid items being Jill Stein, the rest are flora.
I sat on a stinging nettle a few years ago when I had a mostly outdoor job. Now I am an expert in identifying them.
Imagine the indigenous person hungry enough to figure that out.
Thatās an interesting question. I canāt even imagine it was hunger as even kgs of green leaves wonāt satiate a familyās hunger. Maybe it was an attempt at checking if the plant could cure when cooked? Maybe it was believed that all stinging and poisonous plants had magical properties? Who knows.
