Originally native to Europe, much of temperate Asia and western North Africa, it is now found worldwide, including New Zealand and North America. The species is divided into six subspecies, five of which have many hollow stinging hairs called trichomes on the leaves and stems, which act like hypodermic needles, injecting histamine and other chemicals that produce a stinging sensation upon contact (&#8220;contact urticaria&#8221;, a form of contact dermatitis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nettle Urtica Urens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-452 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/tsouknida-urtica-urens-02052011.jpg\" alt=\"Urtica Urens\" width=\"309\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/tsouknida-urtica-urens-02052011.jpg 309w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/tsouknida-urtica-urens-02052011-300x327.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kalliergo.gr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/tsouknida-urtica-urens-02052011-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 309px) 100vw, 309px\" \/><br>Stinging nettle Urtica Urens<br>Photo \u00a9 Carl Farmer (11 Sep 2003 Musselburgh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Urtica urens, commonly known as annual nettle, dwarf nettle, small nettle, dog nettle, or burning nettle, is a herbaceous annual flowering plant species in the nettle family Urticaceae.

Every day I learn new things. I am experiencing what Greek philosopher Socrates said: \"all I know is that I know nothing\" (\"\u0395\u03bd \u039f\u03af\u03b4\u03b1, \u038c\u03c4\u03b9 \u039f\u03c5\u03b4\u03ad\u03bd \u039f\u03af\u03b4\u03b1\"). I perceive my self as always a student. I created kalliergo.gr back in 2010, charmed by the plants magical world. I am a Biomedical Engineer, holding a MSc degree on E-Business. For a living I help businesses to grow online. I am not an agronomist but wish I had also a degree on agronomy.
