Yes, poison ivy can be spread through contact despite the patient's washing the affected areas prior to the interaction. An oil-based soap does not stop the effects of urushiol from spreading since poison ivy's toxin is soluble in oil. Proper containment procedures instead require washing with a mixture of 50 percent alcohol and 50 percent diluted 5 percent chlorine, followed by cleaning with an alkaline soap.
