Normally i wouldn't be doing this but during fall/winter stinging nettles don't tend to sting much, making them safe to touch and pluck. They however can sting a little sometimes like this one did. But during the video i felt nothing whatsoever. This are tastier and fresher during spring/summer where they really sting. Still wouldn't recommend laying in a field of nettles or running in a field in underpants... I held it for several seconds, nothing happened, even moved my finger and stuff, nothing at all. Later stung myself a tiny bit though
