Poison Ivy is spread from the oil or liquid from the plant. When you get it, wash the area(s) well and wash your hands, clothes, bed linens and anything else you may have touched. If the oil is removed, you will not spread it to yourself or anyone else. Excessively scratching the cleaned areas could possibly get the areas infected, though. Make sure you do not break the skin to prevent infection.
