I lived in Scotland for a period of time, and the locals quickly advised me

works, use it.

For those of us not raised in the UK, please tell us a bit more about dock.
I have had the opportunity to meet what I think is stinging nettle. Are Us
nettles pretty much like European ones?

Speaking of intelligent design, I have been in places with soft pine needles
or the like where you lie down to recover if hit with a rock that was
nearby.
