I have a question. While picking fiddle heads yeterday I came in contact with a weed that upon contact gave me an intense stinging burning sensation. The weed was a low to the ground leafy type of growth that was not even noticable until you touched it. The stinging was temporary but very intense. On the the drive home the affected areas felt as though they were asleep (pins and needles). I would like to know the scientific name for this weed for further reaserch. Thanks, Ron Schmecker
