Since Poison Ivy is transmitted through your skin via small thorns on the underside of the leaves that administer the irritant, the best thing to do is where thick clothing, and gloves. Otherwise, there isn't any medication to help you avoid getting you pricked by the thorns.

They do have a "vaccine" out there now... it's given in a series of 3 shots over a six-week period. It helps protect you from being as susceptible to poison ivy, oak and sumac.
Has to be repeated every year.
