Eczema can be confused with contact dermatitis.  Contact dermatitis can be caused by contact with industrial solvents, dyes, nickel and other metals, leather tanning chemicals, some soaps, fabric softener, wood, ragweed and a number of other things.  Though eczema is caused by an internal problem, these contact dermatitis irritants can irritate those with eczema or psoriasis as well. 

“Eczema is the final result of a complex series of internal reactions to exposure to such allergens and irritants. It often accompanies other allergic diseases such as hay fever and asthma, but may also occur alone.”  - David L. Hoffmann BSc (Hons), MNIMH

Most conservation departments want this plant gone and one state even has a "Wanted Dead NOT Alive" poster penned just on cinquefoil's behalf.   

Before pulling all of these plants or spraying them, consider their benefit
