On a hike once, far from the nearest facilities...well, you get the picture.  The trouble with nettles is, unlike cholla, the inflictors of the stings are small and not noticeable if one isn't familiar with the plant.  Despite the painful meeting of nether parts with plant parts, it took another encounter or 2 before I finally got that those innocuous-looking plants were the ones.  Cholla, with which I'm also personally familiar, cannot hold a candle in the pain department to nettles.

Stinging Nettles.
