So now stinging nettles and ants are to be protected species, no longer subject to eradication.

It can be made in lab, it just happens to be a natural compound, that stings when an ant bites you or the nettle stings you................

After years of field work farming, I'm not sure if I would prefer the disease over the nettles as a cure.
I used to get Dilantin injected intravenously every four hours for a few months to prevent seizures from head trauma. I liken the burning to that of nettles, only coursing thru your veins. They eventually had to sedate me for the pain and anxiety of those Dilantin injections. It killed off a few good veins from phlebitis too.

So how do they get it inside the cancer cells?
I just pray I don't need to revisit the one and encounter the other.
Nettles will make anything wish it was dead for about a half hour.

“organic-osmium”?
Osmium is one of the rarest substances on earth.
At $13000 per kilogram, this med will cost a fortune.

I know a fellow who traveled to New Guinea and had an encounter with stinging nettles in a most unfortunate place. Says they are absolutely NO fun!

Ovarian cancers are becoming increasingly resistant to existing chemotherapy drugs Interesting, wonder if that is similar to antibiotic resistance.

I know a fellow who traveled to New Guinea and came back with malaria that almost killed him.
All the local hospital had to treat it was quinine.
He had a bad allergic reaction to it and went into a coma for a week.................

Heard a similar story about a lady who got off a plane from India with malaria symptoms and was misdiagnosed because no one in the hospital she went to here had ever seen it.
