Yes, poison ivy plants have an oil coating on their leaves. If an animal or even a garden tool comes in contact with poison ivy and gets the oils on it you can get the oil on your skin through contact with that object. A delayed reaction to the oil is what causes the poison ivy rash. Technu and other companies sell a "soap"made for dissolving poison ivy oils off your skin, your pets, clothes, or even garden tools.
