I am allergic to poison ivy I live with it most of the summer. I get it in little spots here and there on my arms and fingers if I'm not sure what it is I would just touch it to my forearm and see if I get it. Now I wouldn't do that if you are the type of person that has to go to the hospital when you get it. If you get a small rash on your forearm just get some Benadryl lotion and rub on it. Just a suggestion
