Can you get poison ivy from another person if they have washed their bodies?
Poison ivy is caused by a chemical called urushiol, which is found in the sap of the poison ivy plant. Urushiol is not absorbed through the skin, but it can be transferred from one person to another through direct contact with the sap or by contact with contaminated objects. However, washing with soap and water can remove urushiol from the skin, so it is unlikely that poison ivy can be spread through direct contact with someone who has washed their bodies.
