Summary:  If you have poison ivy, can you spread it to someone else?  If the poison ivy is dead, can you still have a reaction if you touch it?  Where else can you get poison ivy, besides touching the plant?  This episode addresses these questions, and in so doing, touches on the prevention and treatment of the contact dermatitis caused by poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac.
