Plant question - poison sumac?

So when we recently bought a new home, and our realtor, whose husband works in lawn care, commented that we had some poison sumac. My mother in law said it was poison sumac.  I figured I'd address it once we got back from vacation and moving.

So what I know about poison  sumac is that it likes super wet soil, like a bog. Nope, don't live in a box. Evenly spaced, round leaves on red stems.  OK, looks promising, except my plants all have serrated leaves.

So I don't think I have poison sumac, I already started killing some poison ivy and oak, but I'm not sure what this is.  Any ideas?

It almost looks like stinging nettle. Hard to tell because the picture blurs when I zoomed in, but that poo is nasty. Instant rash and your skin burns and itches like crazy. 

Really?  I haven't touchedit yet! I have a poo ton of these plants growing everywhere.  

I'll get some better pics tomorrow.  I thought it might be a more benign plant.
