Hi all,

I know we've had a thread on stinging trees in the past, but the following
link which appeared in the latest Gumnuts will be of interest to anyone who
has birded in rainforest. It seems the best remedy for a sting from one of
these trees is a leg wax (or arm wax or whatever body part is relevant)!

What I didn't realise is it's possible to have a reaction without even
touching the tree.

Cheers
