Formic acid is the simplest organic carbon acid-- one carbon molecule.

Fumarates are different and a little more complex:

What IS interesting, if one searches Google for fumarate, how many drugs we have with this salt configuration. Makes one wonder how successful the drugs would be without it and another molecule instead, given the activity of fumarate on inflammation that is being explored now!

That is an interesting link about the nettle! It has long been used for allergies, I believe.
