Fire Nettle Bushes

Fire Nettle Bush

Plant presumably native to Green Hell. This common shrubbery found all across Green Hell. The plant grows in patches of up to 15 meters across and 3-4 meters tall, with thousands of so called

Nettle Pod branches. Each Nettle Pod Branch carries up to 20,000 Nettle Pods and each pod is loaded with up to two grams of Fire Nettle Pollen. The pollen are very small and in the Nano meter range.

Upon a slight touch the Nettle pods explode and shower whoever or whatever disturbed the plant with a cloud of purplish red pollen dust. The pollen are caustic and similar to pepper plant cause a burning sensation. The Scoville heat units  of the most potent pepper plant known is the Andorian Death flower with a SHU of 3,000,000. Fire Nettle Bush pollen reach 15,000,000 SHU and literally eat skin and nerve endings.

It is said that despite this potency, real Greenies get a slight rash and are pretty much immune to the effects, while inhaling the pollen easily kill most known NiOx breathers.The cautic effect is strong enough to eat through fabrics and even silicone.



Sam Brown of Green Hell is growing the Fire Nettle Bush on his farm and sells the pods to a company that makes the most potent Pepper Spray Self defense weapon known out of the stuff.
