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.

What is a rash LIKE poison ivy but not if it weren't march and if i didn't know how i could have been exposed i would have sworn it is poison ivy?

It could be from poison oak or sumac, which are very similar to poison ivy. It could also be a reaction to something else you rubbed against or something you ate or put on your skin (like a cream). If anti-itch cream or poison ivy-like relief medications don't work and the rash persists or spreads or gets worse for a few more days or so, go to a doctor. They could probably help tell you more clearly what might be wrong.

Do you pop the poison ivy bubbles?

no it spreads the poison, it will pop on it's on, plus you could make it scar, like with other blisters I have to correct the original person that posted - you cannot spread "poison" by popping the bubbles. The fluid in the bubbles is produced by your body and caused by the reaction to the plant's oil that was deposited on your skin. By the time the "bubbles" show up, the oil is typically long gone. However, you must be careful about infection and scarring when "popping" so it is best to speak with your doctor.
