Yes, stinging nettles can still sting after being picked. The stinging sensation comes from tiny, hollow hairs on the plant that release irritants when disturbed. If the leaves are damaged or crushed, these hairs can still release their contents, causing a sting. However, once the nettles are dried or cooked, the sting is neutralized.
