Can blisters from poison ivy present on an individual be spread to another individual if the oils have not been present for some time?
NOT TOO MANY YEARS AGO, doctors as well as the public in general believed that poison ivy could be spread from oozing sores on the skin caused by poison ivy., we now KNOW that this is NOT true. The only way for poison ivy to spread is from the ORIGIONAL oils from the ivy plant that remains on the skin or the clothing. Once the oils are cleaned away from the skin or clothing, the only way to spread poison ivy is to come in contact with fresh oil from the plant.
Can you get poison ivy if you touch something that has been in it?
Yes, poison ivy plants have an oil coating on their leaves.

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.

No oils will be on the rashes nor when oozing begins will it be able to spread from person to person.The only possible way is if the person got poison ivy on a pare of clothing, and didn't wash them. Then another person took that pare of clothing and wore it.Poison ivy oils can get on every thing from tools to clothing even animals and can stay on them for a year or more. So make sure you wash anything that you think has come in contact with poison ivy.
If I have poison ivy and ate cashews could that start a reaction again?
If you have a severe allergy to poison ivy, you will most likely also be allergic to cashews. Cashews are from the poison ivy family, and can contain similar allergens. The reason you never see cashews with a shell on them is because the shell has the same irritating oils that poison ivy leaves have on them. Most people that have minor skin breakouts from poison ivy (not a severe allergy) should not have an issue with consuming cashews.

If they are allergic to it, then yes. They may break out into welts and have other issues. However, poison ivy (as well as poison oak) generally has no ill effects on horses.
