It depends on each person, and their tolerance!. I remember getting at the beginning of one summer and it took me a week to lose the rash!. But then later that summer, I literally rolled my arm in it and didn't get anything!.

Some people are immune to the oils!. On average, it'll take from 1-2 weeks!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depends on how sensative your skin is to the poison ivy!Www@Answer-Health@Com
