Save me from this vicious vine....

I have posted a pic in the gallery sections of wintersowing and vines forums of a vine that I would like to identify, but noone seems to recognize it. Given how it acted, I figure it must be a weed, so I am trying here. PLease forgive the cross-posting. I wintersowed this stuff, thought it was clematis (!), planted it in several places. In one border, it went beserk -- covered sunflowers, sprawled out into the lawn, smothered other plants -- while elsewhere it seemed reasonably behaved. It has 7 lobed, toothed leaves and very sticky, slightly hairy stems, reddish in parts. I decided to yank it from the border this afternoon and the stems actually drew blood and raised stinging raw patches on my arms! Not allergic reaction like poison ivy but abrasions like the sticky stems pulled off skin. Mean stuff!!!! Anybody recognize it????
