Yes, nettle leaf is derived from the stinging nettle plant. Stinging nettle refers to the entire plant, while nettle leaf specifically refers to the leaves of the plant. The stinging nettle plant is known for its stinging hairs that can cause skin irritation upon contact.
Stinging nettle is not contagious. It is a plant that can cause an allergic reaction when it comes in contact with the skin, resulting in a stinging sensation due to compounds released from its hairs.
When a stinging cell, also known as a cnidocyte, comes into contact with another organism, it triggers the discharge of a harpoon-like structure called a nematocyst. The nematocyst injects venom into the target, immobilizing or deterring it. This process is crucial for capturing prey or defending against predators in cnidarians such as jellyfish and sea anemones.
