The poison ivy rash usually starts one or two days after exposure, though the delay between contact and onset can be longer, up to several days. This may lead to confusion over where exposure took place. The first signs of the rash are curved lines of red, itchy bumps or blisters. These continue to appear for many days, depending on how much resin touched the skin at a given point. This makes it seem as though the rash is "spreading," although the fluid in blisters is just part of the allergic reaction and contains no chemicals or bacteria. It also makes it appear that there may still be poison ivy in clothes and on pets. Although this is theoretically possible, repeated washing of these often produces no improvement.
Many references emphasize that animals can carry the poison ivy resin. No doubt this is true, but its practical significance may be limited. The first sign of poison ivy, after all, is usually a curved line. Unless your dog is shaped like a curved line, your poison ivy is more likely to have come from a stem or leaf which dragged against the skin, not from your pet.
no.
you/ve probably got a slight reaction to dogs/dog fur
it could also be the grass seeds
since grass seeds grow in summer
poison ivy ha small, powdery leaves that grow in bushes
most likely
go to a doctor
he will pop the blisters wash them out and apply salve
don't touch them and take showers NOT BATHS
Baths make the poison oil spread everywhere.
a shower will rinse it off.
