Default Slugs - cut nettles ?

We know that all dead vegetation should be removed from garden and
allotments, as these harbour slugs and snails. But what about cut nettles?
We know that slugs avoid nettles. We also know that nettles (when soaked in
a bucket of water) produce valuable nutrients.

So anyone have any info on how long, cut nettles retain their sting? Who
wants to be a guinea-pig? Don't look at me -
