Is it ok to swim or get in a hot tub with poison ivy poison oak or poison sumac?

It is not advisable to swim or get into a hot tub with poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac on your skin, as the urushiol oil can spread to others and contaminate surfaces. Even if you wash off the oil, it can still linger on your skin and lead to further irritation. Additionally, hot water can open your pores, potentially worsening the rash. It's best to wait until you are fully treated and free of any rash before swimming or using hot tubs.
