    It is likely that there are other Nettles in the same bed. Lamium Nettles lack the toxins of Urtica Nettles, but the possibility still exists that you are allergic to some of the compounds present in the Lamium.

    I think that this one will be better suited for your healthcare provider. We are not qualified to give medical advice, so any allergies will need be dealt with by your doctor.

    When undiluted stinging nettle tea is sprayed on weeds, it will kill the weeds, according to garden experts, but we don't have the amount or duration. Perhaps you can experiment and let us know. :)

    Roughly, two weeks to a month or so. Natural tea fertilizers will go bad, about, as fast as a natural drink will.

    If you keep in a clean, cool place that is as cool as the refrigerator, but not as microbial-laden, then it may store for longer.

    That is stinging nettle. Terrible little plant to many. There are a few ways to control it. The things that you can do without a licensed professional for chemicals would be pulling all underground rhizomes up from underground, and using boiling water on the area several times. You'll have to do this, daily, until no more appear, and all are dead.

    But if you can't beat 'em, then eat em'! These are packed with nutrients and medicinal benefits.
