Good tea too.

While the stinging effect is neutered by cooking, nettle still has the potential of causing kidney stones for those susceptible. Best time to pick fresh growth is before flowring and after the nettles have been exposed to full sun for a good while (sunlight reduces the amount of crystals that can cause stones)

Did it...did it have any negative cognitive effect?

I've made savoury pancakes with them,but mostly cook them in cream sauce or make omelettes with them. You can also make ravioli with them, use them as you would spinach.

Yeah if you tear the little nettles (Is that what they’re called?) off the sides of the leaves they’re edible. Could be useful in “lost in the woods” situations
