After I got poison ivy the Army made me wear my leather gloves to cover my hands.will the gloves still be contaminated after about 3 monthsAnd if so how would I clean the leather gloves?

Answer 1

I just had poison ivy and went to the doctor because I thought I was having an allergic reaction. The doctor said that poison ivy is a two-week rash. It is not contagious and cannot be spread to other parts of your own body during those two weeks except on the day of contact. Say your leg brushes against the poison ivy plant or the oil. If you touch your leg then your arm, you will develop a rash on your arm, although not necessarily that day. This is what makes people think they are spreading it to other parts of the body. Rashes or blisters pop up days later, but in areas where the oil was spread on the day of contact with the plant. The best thing to do is to wash the area and then wash what you wore that day. It is not necessary to wash everything you wear every day until the rash is gone. Do not put band-aids on your rash. It will only make it worse.
