In summer '05, I had poison ivy all over my back. Yes, my entire back. My immune system went whacky and it spread to my legs. After that happened, my dermatologist put me on steroids (cream & pills). It finally went away.
Be careful with your laundry. Whatever you wore when you encountered the poison oak should be washed ASAP and make sure you clean your hands with Technu or a good soap after handling the clothes. You might want to change your sheets, too.

I washed my clothes, my shoes, my camelback, my bike, and my sheets!
Thanks!
