How long does it take for poison oak to show?

Answer 1

Actually NO it is not contagious from person to person. You MUST come into contact with the plant to get the rash. It is a myth that you CAN catch it from another person! True, you can't get the rash from someone's rash or blisters. However, if a person or pet has recently touched the plant and still has the plant's oils on their skin or fur they can transfer it to you.

Answer 2

A window of 12-72 hours is the range within which the allergic reaction to poison ivy [Toxicodendron diversilobumand Toxicodendron pubescens] tends to show up. Chances are that the reaction will show up closer to the lower than to the upper range. But a way of preventing or lessening the reaction is the washing of the affected area several times, and thoroughly, with soap and water.
