My next door neighbor and I are convinced that if it gets hot enough that the oil actually vaporizes and your pores are open more so it can get on you that way as well. Both of us have gotten it on the inner forearm / wrist area and we were both dead certain we had not touched any but knew we were in the immediate vicinity of it
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that was the case.
Poison Ivy is bad shit. Whatever you do, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BURN IT. The oil will be released into the air, you will breath it in and you will get a bad infection (and it has been fatal before, too)
The oil is viable for years even once the plant is dead.
Goats like it.
I'm no expert, but I took my CCW course at a Holiday Inn Express
