A member asked:
What should i do if poison ivy is still spreading after being treated by a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Continuing exposure.: The resin from the poison ivy/oak can continue to cause you problem. Be sure to wash off anything which has touched the poison ivy with a laundry detergent to rid of the resin. Don't overlook the gloves, boots, or even your car's floor mat.
