A member asked:
Does poison ivy spread from one person to another?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If the person is still contaminated with poison ivy (on his body or clothing) it would be similar to a direct contact with it yourself. However if the person is free of poison ivy agent on his body or clothing, the rash itself cannot be transmitted to another person.
