But since you had the presence of mind to wash him immediately, he should be good. Typically (from what I read) rashes don’t show up until around 24 hours after contact.

I get the stuff really bad. I've discovered that if it's going to be a bad case, it'll show up within 8-12 hours (the sooner, the worse the case). Otherwise, it'll show up within about 3 days. And scientists say soap & water does no good (& might even spread it worse), but I use it anyway. And rubbing alcohol, which also supposedly does no good. And drinking alcohol, which always makes me feel great. I think it’s always a good idea to assume it’s poison ivy and avoid it.

On 09/10, I decided that the lawn could use a good wacking. So I donned some shorts and slipped on some open-toed sandals. I figured I'd be fine, just go inside and wash with special anti-poison ivy soap I was conned into buying. I had a 15-minute window, so they said. The spinning head of the weedwacker indescriminity chewed up the grass and spit out the shreds, most of which covered my legs and fell on the exposed flesh of my feet. Yadda yadda yadda... I'm on a hefty script of prednisone. Horray for me! In a turn of events that I totally blame on the picture in this post, I’ve yet again contracted my own poison ivy outbreak.
