No big deal in small doses. It sucks if you get it in your eyes or on your private parts.
I have gotten that numerous times each summer since I was a teen. No mistaking it.

I am still leaning in that direction. He said he had it on both love handles. He gets it on his hands. Reaches down to hitch up his pants and transfers the oil to the pants/skin.
My little sister just got over a case of poison ivy. She calls me about a rash and if it could be poison ivy. So I go to see her. Yep, looks like it. Ask her if she had been in the woods. No, but she had been weeding the shrubs around her house. (New home they had just bought). So she takes me out to an area where there was some "English ivy". Actually, poison ivy that she was watering and cultivating...
If it is poison ivy he needs to wash the clothes he was wearing and scrub up after touching the contaminated clothing. .
