nettle sting
Weed's painful touch
A nettle sting is the burning, itching sensation caused by contact with stinging nettles—plants whose leaves and stems are covered with hollow hairs that inject irritants into the skin.
The sting produces raised welts and an unpleasant prickling that can last for hours: I brushed against some nettles and got a nasty nettle sting on my arm.
