Best Answer

From WebMD: The rash usually appears 8 to 48 hours after your contact. But it can occur from 5 hours to 15 days after touching the plant. The rash usually takes more than a week to show up the first time you get it on your skin. But the rash develops much more quickly (within 1 to 2 days) after later contacts. The rash will continue to develop in new areas over several days but only on the parts of your skin that had contact with it or those parts where it was spread by touching.
