Have you ever found a snake in the woods ?

I googled "ortiga" and found out this plant is called stinging nettles in the United States. I don't think I've ever encountered it in the wild, but it sounds quite painful if you come in contact with it.

I've encountered snakes in the woods on a number of occasions. There was one very warm afternoon in late winter, in a park near Tampa where they left the natural vegetation. I heard what sounded like a large animal moving, and when I saw it, it turned out to be a 5 foot water moccasin. That same afternoon I heard something that sounded even bigger moving in the scrub palmetto, but I wasn't going to go in there to see what it was. I figure it was likely either a rattlesnake or another water moccasin.
