Bad news, it looks like one of the many varieties of Poison Oak, Bathgate. :(

Wow! the last thing I wanted to hear. Thanks Thug.

You're welcome, Bathgate! :) Be sure to stay covered, and keep the soap and water handy!
By the way, I hope that last word is a typo :b

Well I have learnt something new to day. Never heard of poison oak so I looked it up. Toxicodendron diversilobum used to be Rhus.
Then I looked at poisoned ivy. when I have heard of people talking of poisoned ivy I had assumed it was a Hedra and thought that they must be eating the berries to make them selves ill . but NO it is another plant entirely. Toxicodendron radicans.

you be careful Bathgate, it looks like it causes really nasty skin rashes.

Sorry about the typo Tugbrethil & I can't fix it. Thank you for the identification. Not quite sure how to deal with this as it spreads to quickly.

Yep, you only get a little while to edit your comments. I just wanted to make sure that the slip wasn't Freudian--I don't mean to be that way, and I wanted to know if that was the way I was coming across. Best if I did some soul searching and reform, if I was! Blessings on all of you guys. :)

LOL it was just a dumb typo and that's all there is too that. I appreciate your straight forward & candid advice.
