I don't know the exact scientific time limits but I can tell you from my personal experience. Personally I start to break out between 24-48 hrs and not before 24. Then it seems the rash does not fully mature until 72-96 hours. It all depends how sensitive your skin is and how much of the oil you came in contact with. Some people can break out within a few hours. But I'm pretty sure if you don't break out within 72 hours you won't break out at all. Hope that helps.

Poison ivy can be found in forests, fields, and along roadsides in North America. To avoid contact with poison ivy, wear long sleeves and pants, gloves, and closed-toe shoes when in areas where it grows. Wash any exposed skin with soap and water immediately after potential contact.
The short answer is that you are not protected. While steroids may be used to reduce inflammation and itching associated with poison ivy, this treats only the symptoms and does nothing to prevent repeated contact from uroshiol causing poison ivy again.
The vine may have thick hairs, avoid contact if possible. Prevent wipes, long sleves, gloves and a cold rinse shortly after is best.
Yes. In face, anphibians were in existance long before reptiles.
Socrates was in jail for approximately one month before he was executed by drinking poison hemlock.
It depends on what poison you eat. :-)
Yes, you can get poison ivy from dead vines. The urushiol oil, which causes the allergic reaction, can remain on dead plant parts for a long time, potentially for years. If you come into contact with these dead vines or any surfaces that have been in contact with them, you could still experience a reaction. It's best to handle all parts of poison ivy with caution, regardless of whether they appear alive or dead.
it is about 5 to 6 hours
About 5 hours
About 1 year.
Yes, poison ivy can be transferred to another person even after someone has showered, but the likelihood decreases significantly. The rash is caused by an oil called urushiol, which can remain on clothing, shoes, or other surfaces for a long time. If someone who has come into contact with poison ivy has not thoroughly washed these items, the urushiol can still cause a reaction in another person. Additionally, if the person touched the affected area before showering, the oil might still be on their skin.
