This stinging tree only stings you once .
The pain it inflicts is so great and so long lasting ( up to three weeks ) that you avoid it at all cost from then on .
Despite several Bush remedies I have found nothing that will relieve the pain . Old leaves lying on the ground can and will cause as much pain as a fresh new leaf . So don't go bare footed in Rain Forests where this Tree grows .
I feel getting to know this tree is a Positive experience .
