A member asked:
Is poison ivy and poison oak contagious days after you get the rash? can it spread on my own body once i have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not contagious: This is a delayed type allergic reaction to the chemicals in the plants. It is not contagious and would not spread on your body once the initial exposure is removed.
