Natural remedy for stinging nettle?

[Swede]

Short story:
I went outside today, and got tired of walking and biking, and found a rather comfortable patch of weeds.

You can guess what's going to happen, right?

I jumped on it aaaaand... it was stinging nettles!!

(I was wearing shorts)
It stings like hell! Is there a natural remedy other than vinegar? (It finished)

I have heard from more than one person that Dock plant or Jewelweed grows close by and to use the liquid from the stem.

Ouch! I once got ahold of one when I was weeding my flower bed. I will never forget the feeling. It's not named stinging nettle for nothing.

And it leaves marks on my white skin, so it looks like I've got ugly spotty legs

Nettles hate me with a passion and the feeling's mutual. I brought some ointment from south africa that takes the sting out quickly. Ingredients here if anyone wants to try and make some: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zam-Buk It's wonderful relief for insect bites too.

When I get into the Nettles, the stinging will last a couple of days. Is that the same with you guys?

No, only lasts 5-10 minutes. Longest minutes of my life though.

Am I the luckiest person alive that I don't really know what stinging nettles are? I mean, I've heard of them but I don't know what they look like and I've certainly never encountered them.
