I've nver heard of using aPiriton to treat nettle stings. You need a dock
leaf :-)

At one time I was on daily antihistamine for a medical condition. Nettle
stings were much less of a problem during that time.

I don't think dock does anything - it's simply the rubbing that helps.
Gave up docks long ago.

I think there is an astringent in them Kay that works, you have to
break the dock to extract the juice.
