All of a tingle
We have nettles in n the states. I know to avoid them. But if you do get into them there is another weed that often grows near them that looks like fuzzy rhubarb leaves. I have heard that if you run that leaf over the area that has touched nettles it will take the itch and sting away.

I think you are referring to doc leaves which traditionally have this property.
However I remember reading of a scientific study which found that it's the rubbing rather than any properties of the leaf that brings relief.
I came across a man who was happily urinating on a live electric fence. How's that for a tingle! He said he often used to walk naked through tall nettles, deliberately getting stung. I guessed he liked a certain level of pain. He assured me he had tried everything. Looking at him I suggested he hadn't tried piercing (this was before my first piercing). He pulled back his foreskin to show a really chunky Prince Albert piercing.
