Poison Ivy can be spread to multiple locations while shingles will follow limited individual nerve paths on one side of the body. Additionally, shingles is very painful. Poison Ivy rash can sometimes be dotted trails along the leg if one walked through it. Inspect your entire body for multiple rashes from cross contamination to distinguish the two.

Can shingles be spread through skin contact?
Shingles is an outbreak of the chicken pox virus that causes a rash on the skin. But before the rash shows up, and after the rash is gone, the virus affects the nerves leading to the skin. Right before the rash shows up, a person affected by shingles might feel an itchy, burny pain in that area. After the rash is gone, the patient might have pain or discomfort in that area for some time -- again, related to the nerve involvement and not the skin rash itself. So, to be precise, shingles always develops "under the skin." The skin symptoms make it easiest to diagnose, but it's not the skin symptoms that cause the greatest aggravation with shingles.
