Just a question; I started doing yard work this summer. Unfortunately after a few weeks, I decided not to take a shower one day. Now I have poison ivy on both arms and both legs.

But my question is, does sweat, from work, cause the poison to spread? I want to go back out there, long pants and long sleeves etc., but if the rash just gets worse and worse the harder I work, I'd prefer just to wait.

Thanks,

Chris
