.....are sheep immune to nettles??

How odd...for some reason I was contemplating nettles this afternoon. In answer to your question, no they are not immune. Nettles sting because their leaves are covered with silica hyperdermic needles which break off when touched injecting you with poison. The reason sheep appear immune is because thier wool is too thick for the needles to puncture the skin, however thier lips, nose and eyes would still be stung...fuck I'm turning into Mike...someone shoot me now, for the love of god! Do it...come on, between the eyes, do it, do it now!!!

You are not allowed to mostly wonder that is my purpose and role. I can't allow people to post their daily confusions on here willy nilly. Jinkies!

As for you Christopher. I found you response very helpful. I will not be wondering this.

Why were you wondering that Andrew? Nutjob!
