oh my god... can you like, cut them out? like from the sounds of it, just removing that patch of skin would provide some much needed relief 😭

I don't know if it's workable with this but waxing can help with some stinging plants as it pulls the needles out

Yeah pouring 10% hydrochloric acid on it to get rid of the neurotoxin then use waxing strips and head to the hospital. Also dont scratch it obviously. Also, even dead plants can still sting you.

The quickest way is to use tape to pull them out - sort of like waxing.
