Dermatologist told me it spread through the lymph system. Hence the outbreaks in different places over several weeks.
Dermatologist said it was not contagious - others won't get it from the ooze. BUT, once the blister breaks, the skin around it gets irritated and the lesion gets bigger and bigger.
I know it is a baddy, but I go ahead and take the "real" prednisone. Please, do not start another topic on the bad parts of prednisone. We wean me off it quickly, but though I don't get it often, when I do I tend to really get a gross case, and the only thing that stops it is the real prednisone, not fake prednisone.
The dermatologist has brought medical students in to look at me when I really get a solid case and took photos for use in her classes.

Poison ivy can, however, break out systemically - esp. when it is
inhaled. And my dermatologist agrees.
Having had a systemic breakout - where poison ivy appeared *everywhere*
- I can tell you - it does, esp. for those of us who are extremely
sensitive.
Totally unpleasant - oof.
