An Overview of Stinging Nettle Overdose
Is it possible to take too much
stinging nettle? What symptoms can an overdose with stinging nettle cause? While it is not clear exactly what to expect from consuming too much stinging nettle, it is likely that the effects of an overdose will vary, depending on several factors.
If you think you or someone else may have overdosed on any medication or supplement (including stinging nettle), please seek medical attention immediately.
It is not known exactly what to expect from a stinging nettle overdose (or even if an overdose is possible). It makes sense that an overdose could cause any of the usual
stinging nettle side effects, such as an upset stomach or
diarrhea. Because stinging nettle contains many different medicinally active components, it is possible that other, more serious symptoms could also occur. However, it is not possible to predict exactly what these symptoms might be.
It is not known how to best treat an overdose of stinging nettle (if, indeed, an overdose is even possible).
Therefore, treatment (if necessary) will involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on this supplement.
