Yes, it is possible to get poison ivy from soap if the soap has come into contact with the plant's oils, known as urushiol. If the soap is not properly rinsed or if it has been used on surfaces contaminated with the oil, it can transfer the allergen to your skin. However, simply using soap itself does not cause poison ivy; it depends on the soap's contact with the irritant. Always wash your hands and any items that may have touched poison ivy to prevent exposure.

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. If an animal or even a garden tool comes in contact with poison ivy and gets the oils on it you can get the oil on your skin through contact with that object. 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.

Can you give someone poison ivy after you have washed?

Yes, poison ivy can be spread through contact despite the patient's washing the affected areas prior to the interaction. An oil-based soap does not stop the effects of urushiol from spreading since poison ivy's toxin is soluble in oil. Proper containment procedures instead require washing with a mixture of 50 percent alcohol and 50 percent diluted 5 percent chlorine, followed by cleaning with an alkaline soap.
