Yes, you can! If any of the urushiol oil is still on you or your clothing, furniture, tools, etc., you can spread it on yourself or onto others. Even a trace of the oil can be very potent, so you should always scrub and rinse yourself thoroughly -- two or three times. The oil doesn't bond to clothing and objects the way it does to humnan skin, so one good cleaning ought to do fine for them. I wish you the best!
