How can i get rid of the sting before feeding it? I know it doesnt bother rabbits, but id rather not get continuously stung, if i can help it

ETA: Are the leaves off a "weeping willow" ok for them to eat?...stand by for more questions as i think of them

I used to be like that but when you have an allotment you can't sadly! The amount of times I've been pricked by a bramble leaf, or thistle or stung by nettles is incredible. Yet I haven't (not yet anyway) broken a nail.
