I used to get poison ivy from my cats at home because they would run through patches of poison ivy in my yard and neighborhood. I have since moved and have been fine because I haven't had any exposure to poison ivy. However, I've been working as a Vet Tech at a local animal hospital since November (of 2007) and through the winter have had no problems with posion ivy. But now that the weather is warming up, I have two poison ivy rashes on my arms. What can I do to avoid getting poison ivy at work without changing jobs?
I work at an animal hospital and I keep getting posion ivy! Help..?
Wearing long sleeves, while at work, should help. The oil from the poison ivy is on the animals coat and it is rubbing off on you. Be sure to wash your clothes in hot, soapy water each time you wear them, to be sure the oil is off.
