I have poison ivy, and I've had it for three days. Am I able to go to work?

I'm still very itchy, even after proper cleaning measurements.
Answer:
You can go to work with poison ivy.just don't scratch it and then start touching things cause you can spread it that way. There is no reason anybody wouldn't be able to work with poison ivy.
No and have it treated, it can spread
no it can spread to other people
Oh I hate poison ivy. Its easily spread so if any of your co-workers is alergic, you may infect them. If your case is not too severe, take a cotton ball, dampen it with Clorox bleach and rum the infected areas well. Let dry naturally. This will get rid of the oils and dry up the condition. Wash well after a few hours to remove the Clorox.
You cannot spread poison ivy to anyone else unless the "oils" from the plant are still on your skin. The material that drains from the blisters cannot spread the poison ivy to anyone else, or to yourself. If your skin is nonintact from scratching, you may get a bacterial infection and spread it to someone else. Otherwise you can probably return to work. If you have significant redness, swelling, red streaks, heat, or large amounts of yellow fluid, you may need to see a physician as this may indicate an infection.
