Poison ivy?

hi well i kinda did a dumb thing today me and my friend grabbed chunks of poison ivy and rubbed it on our arms.... yea not the smartest thing... well anyways how long does it take to see if you have it???

Poison ivy?
Poison Ivy juice from the leaves of the plant are oils that contain some acid. It should be evident within a few hours. One way to avoid this and also nettles is to wash the skin with water ASAP. This will allow the oils and acid to be diluted and hence no damage.
Reply:If you wash your hands with soap and water asap, there should be no problem. If the poison ivy has not shown up yet and you are still concerned, go see your doctor.
