Gardening: anyone know what this plant is?

My husband brushed up against it, and it "trashed" his forearm. It has been 10 days and the arm is still red and sore and peeling. I have looked into poison ivy, oak, and sumac, and none match. Thanks!

no it's prob the plant .. when we were little we had a plant like that all over the property ...»
in the country!! We would just call it "bad weed" but in Spanish I think it was called STINGING NETTLE. And yea it gives you the worst rash and burns and takes awhile to go away !!!! put calamine lotion thats what my mom would do !!... Good Luck !!
