I participated in Adopt a Highway roadside cleanup about 2 weeks ago. Though I was wearing gloves, I must have touched my face and gotten poison oak on my cheek. I didnt scratch it, and used an anti itch cream. The rash disappeared in about 5 days. I woke up this morning with an itchy rash on the same cheek and on my shoulder. I know for a fact that I have not been exposed to poison anymore (not even the gloves--they werent mine). Is it possible for poison oak to rear its ugly head at this point?
