Hops leaves look a lot like grape leaves in the pictures, but I know the difference as my neighbor has a starting vine of grapes. The grape vine though does not have the scratchiness as the bines of hops. Wear long sleeves and gloves while handling hops bines or else it is not really a rash, but a reaction to the small cuts it makes in the skin and any thing around contaminating the skin after getting scratched that makes it swell up the skin on some people. I found out the hard way, but as one said at least that is not as bad as having a bad reaction to hops as it is used in flavoring and gives off nice aroma to beer and ale!
