It seems that you have the rash, not the child.
The child won't get senitive on the first exposure.
As far as swallowing, it depends what amounts.
Some sources actually recommend to swallow trace amounts of urushiol to develo immunity.
Just next time you will pull Poisin Ivy, use chemical gloves and two layers of clothes all over. Put all clothes straight to washer and go to have a really good shower. I pulled hald an acre of thick Poison Ivy bushes without an incident - and I am very sensitive to it.
