No, stinging nettles are not contagious. They are plants that can cause a painful sting when their tiny, hair-like structures release irritants upon contact with skin. The discomfort is a reaction to the chemicals in the plant, not an infectious condition that can spread from person to person. To avoid irritation, it's best to handle nettles with care or wear protective clothing when in their vicinity.
