I found this interesting, since I am currently having an outbreak on my leg and thigh in the same spots I had a bad poison ivy rash 10 years ago.  There is zero chance that I have handled the same materials as I did then.  (none of the same clothes - middle age spread  :-) , different city and state, none of the same equipment is in my possession)  It seems that I now have a sensitivity to chemicals (soap?) that manifests itself as a severe rash but only where the bad poison ivy was.
 
 regards,
 
 jay
