There is Stinging Nettle Up MY NOSE!

I'm going to make this post short and sweet.
Today, my class went down to the Delaware to pull up invasive plants from the side and hopefully make the environment better.
There were two different invasive plants: something that had something to do with mustard and stinging nettle. I pulled up a whole bunch of mustard stuff, was taking a break, and fell face-first into some stinging nettle.
Stinging nettle is like poison ivy, but it doesn't just itch, it also tingles like your hand/foot/face is asleep, and obviously, it stings.
So it's worse.
And landing on my face, I got it on my face, on my hands, on my neck, and, of course, up my nose.
The less inconvenient itches have all ceased to exist but the up the nose itch is still there because when you are in school, you tend to try not to pick your nose.
But it's definitely there.
And it hurts.
And it's undignified to itch the inside of your nose.
EVEN IF IT HURTS.
WHICH IT DOES.
