Absolutely not.
You can only get poison ivy from the oil of a poison ivy plant. The "ooze" is a allergic reation.
You can get poison ivy from another person if they still have the oil from the poison ivy plant on their skin.

i know that if you have it.. there is a weed out there that will help called juniper weed. it's an orange flower type of thing and i normally find it NEAR poison ivy, in ontario, anyways. Google it and see what it looks like.
While yer at it, google "poison ivy" Im sure yer going to get a better and more concrete answer from there than here.

Yes you can. If you touch somebody with it or if you sit in the same place that they were sitting you can get it. If all depends on if the "juice" inside the poison ivy rash gets on your skin.

no. It's not contagious. You get it from the sap of the plant. If someone has the sap on their clothes or you pet a dog that has brushed up against it and has the sap on its fur then you could get it. Wash your clothes and hands after being near it because it can cause a rash for sometime if you come into contact w/anything w/sap on it.
