I know it's not possible to get poison ivy from someone who has it--you actually have to come in contact with the oil from the plant itself, but is it possible to spread poison ivy from scratching it, then touching another area of your body?
Question about poison ivy?
Yes, that is possible and what is more likely is to end up with a systemic infection where the urishol oil ends up in the blood stream and then "pops out" in other parts of the body.

Reply:Yes it is. You pass the histamine reaction from one area to the next. That is why it's very important to wash your hand every time you touch the infected area and avoid scratching it as much as possible to prevent spreading it.
Reply:Yes it is true when i got it when i was little i had it on my leg then a scratched it and then scratched my forehead. I got it there too.
