Can I get poison ivy (or whatever its called) if I touch someone who has it?

My sister has a weird sort of rash, that looks sort of like poison ivy (or whatever its called! lol feel free to correct me on this). I've touched her rash, rubbing anti-itch cream on it. If it was poison ivy would I get it from touching her rash?
Answer:
If you are allergic to it, too, you might. I get it from my husband's clothes when he has been working in the yard.
I'm highly susceptible to it, and the oil from the plant gets on his clothes. It can stay for over a year on clothng that hasn't been washed or drycleaned. And he has spread it to our kids when he isn't careful about washing his hands thoroughly or changing his clothes before coming in contact with us.
He is not allergic. I keep a box of vinyl exam gloves so I can touch things that might have poison ivy on them.

It's possible. If you have to do that again, just make sure you wash your hands really well after.

My boyfriend just got poison ivy a few days ago. He has been concerned that he would give it to me. I am one of the few that is not allergic to the oil of poison ivy. You can not get it from touching your sisters rash. It is not contagious. You can get it if you touch something that still has the oils. So if you touch whatever she was wearing when she got it and that item has not been washed, then you can get it. Make sure that everything she was wearing gets cleaned otherwise she may get poison ivy again. Including her shoes. I think rubbing alcohol will disinfect the shoes, not sure. I've listed a site so you can read for yourself. And by the way when in doubt ask a medical professional they will give you the right information, including what will help the rash.
I hope this helps.
