If you mean, "How does a poison ivy exposure spread on your body?" the only answers are thus:

1. Areas exposed after the initial exposure will appear -- later.

2. If you are exposed and immediately rub the affected area, you *might* spread some of the urushiol -- the active ingredient -- around some. But this has to happen fast as after 15 minutes or so, urushiol is already bonded to skin cells.

3. You can be exposed by coming into contact with clothing that was itself exposed, a while after the fact.

If you mean, "can the liquid that seeps from the lesions spread the rash?", the answer is No.
