So, is systemic PI a myth or not?

I came in contact with some PI two weeks ago. I am highly allergic and took all my usual precautions to avoid the rash which normally develops in just a few hours for me. This time I was clean for 48 hours before two spots showed up. Every day since more spots have shown up.

I know it takes very little to spread the oil. I put all the clothes straight in the washer, cleaned everything i came in contact with... at 2 weeks out now and still gaining more spots daily, I have to wonder can it be systemic?
