Shelli,
Glad I could help. A good general rule is, leaves of three, leave it be.

Thank you! I've run across this lovely little plant for years never realizing what it was while pulling weeds but always finding out later (the itchy way). Thought this year I'd let it alone and stay clear just in case and it's the first year I've not ended up at the doctors. Glad you could confirm my suspicions!
