I know that the only way poison ivy can be spread is by its oil right?  if that is  true why does it keep spreading when i scratch? i have washed with zanfel and tecnu many times but it keeps spreading. is there any way that the oil is under my finger nails and gets spread that way? i have no rash or anything on my fingers but every time i scratch even a little bit, it swells more and seems to spread.  anyone have any ideas? all is apreciated.
