Cons

 

Consuming dried or cooked stinging nettle is generally safe. There are few, if any, side effects.

However, be careful when handling fresh stinging nettle leaves, as their hair-like barbs can harm your skin.

These barbs can inject an array of chemicals, such as

  • Acetylcholine
  • Histamine
  • Serotonin
  • Leukotrienes
  • Formic
    acid

These compounds can cause rashes, bumps, hives and itchiness.

 

Pregnant women should avoid consuming stinging nettle because it may trigger uterine contractions, which can raise the risk of a miscarriage.

 

Certain doses could cause uterine contractions.
