Stinging nettles are found absolutely everywhere here in the UK. I once had a rather large patch growing at the bottom of my garden. I was going to get rid of it, but then a man tried climbing over my fence one night trying to break in. He climbed up on my plum tree, which promptly snapped and he dropped 6 feet down into said patch of nettles. Funniest thing I've ever seen. I kept them after that as biological home security!

The fact that the Gympie Gympie is still affecting his arm is insane. That plant is no joke.

Coyote, I just have to say that I’ve been watching your videos since I was three when you first started your Chanel I’m 13 now and I just came across one of your videos and I can not tell or express how I felt when I watched this I just remembered that this was the same guy that I watched when I was little and it still brought me the same interest and excitement. So I know you probably won’t see this but to see that your at 21 million subs it just made my day.

[WillyWonka-tfln]

I’ve been watching this guy for six years now. I can’t believe he’s still going and still up and about. I am so proud of him.

I was stung by nettles a lot as a kid... Dock leaves are usually nearby and do help

[Girlyplop]

Nettles are everywhere in the uk. Bitter Dock plants usually grow nearby and if you get stung, you just need to pick a dock leaf, crush it to release the sap and rub it on the stings. Works really effectively 😊

“This is such a bad idea!” Proceeds to keep doing it 💀

0:35 “I just swallowed a bug” what a great start to the video 😭😭😭

[KevinTheFluffyWolfy]

The nostalgia is real! Coyote Peterson, you were a HUGE part of my childhood! I used to watch you literally every day! Thank you so much for all the laughs and fun I’ve had watching your videos for the longest time!

[olamafiosa]

In Poland as kids we'd literally play with stinging nettles to rub it against our friends for fun. 🤣 Now I'm realizing why the pain and rash that came with it was so bad that I still remember it to this day.

The folk tales here say that getting stung by stinging nettle is beneficial for blood vessels and your circulatory system in general. Additionally, unless you are having an allergic reaction (which is pretty rare) to the nettle, the stinging is completely harmless.

Another fun fact, the nettle only has trichomes while it is young in the spring and loses trichomes as it grows older. During autumn the nettle doesn't sting at all. So big up for Coyote for doing the video when the nettle is at its most stingy even though this pain is basically nothing compared to all the hell he endured. We eat the nettle in the autumn due to its high iron content. I can't really stand the taste, but a lot of people here enjoy it.

This guy has been doing this for a decade now. He's on a whole other level of a mix a brave and crazy. Very informational though I will say. Thanks for everything!

New Zealand has a species called the Ongaonga - The Tree Nettle, or Urtica Ferox. The nettles on the leaves are huge and look like spiked glass, and the shrub grows up to 3m tall. And yes, it is both toxic and beyond painful to be stung by it, causing ataxia, confusion, hyper salivation and breathing problems. It's one of the few plants in the country that has actually killed at least one person.

[abyssalfelix]

The “uaah I just swallowed a bug!” Followed by retching had me rolling on the floor in tears 😂

[Zizi_lay]

Legit I'm so happy that you're still alive all this stuff you did 😭❤

[Zerq]

I would like to say there is a leaf that grows close called the “dock leaf” and it helps the pain a lot, here in the uk you get stung left, right and centre! So them growing around the stinging nettles is a life saver. There is also a leaf that looks a lot like a nettle, it has one different distinct feature and that is that it has white flowers with it.

Met coyote on middle bass this past weekend. Coolest dude Ive ever met. It was an honor Coyote!

[fritz]

Saw the title and thought I'd be clever and come suggest he do the gympie gympie, but of COURSE Coyote has already done it lol....

MANIAC!

I’m coyote Peterson! And I’m about to enter the strike zone of an artillery shell!
