A member asked:
How can you tell the rash of poison ivy or poison oak? are they contagious and how does it last? and how long does it itch?
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 not overlook the gloves, boots, or even your car's floor mat.
