When a person has been in contact with poison ivy, there are several measures that may be taken to prevent or lessen a rash. Zanfel and Tecnu are commercial preparations designed to 'unlock' urishiol from the skin. If applied within 20 minutes of exposure to poison ivy, these may be effective in completely preventing an outbreak. Zanfel, the more expensive of the two by far, is said to be effective at any stage of a poison ivy outbreak.

Normally, it takes about twenty-four hours for the rash to first appear, though it may worsen during the next few days and may appear to spread, when in fact what is happening is that areas that received a lesser dose are latently reacting. The rash takes one to two weeks to run its course, but normally does not leave scars. Severe cases will have small (1-2mm) white fluid-filled blisters on the skin.

Poison oak leaves also come in threes on the end of a stem, but each leaf is shaped somewhat like an oak leaf.
