They won't pass on the poison ivy if they bathed and changed clothes to get the oil from the leaves off of them. If, however, the first person touches the other person soon after initial contact, it's entirely possible the other person may also be afflicted.

Can poison ivy transfer from one person to another person by rubbing up against them?

Urushiol (pronounced oo-roo-shee-ohl), is a chemical in the sap of poison ivy, this sap can stick to people, pets, garden tools, balls, or anything it comes in contact with. If the urushiol isn't washed off those objects or animals, just touching them--for example, picking up a ball, petting a dog, or hugging a gardener could cause a reaction in a susceptible person. Urushiol that's rubbed off the plants onto other things can remain potent for years, depending on the environment.

Do you pop the poison ivy bubbles?

no it spreads the poison, it will pop on it's on, plus you could make it scar, like with other blisters I have to correct the original person that posted - you cannot spread "poison" by popping the bubbles. The fluid in the bubbles is produced by your body and caused by the reaction to the plant's oil that was deposited on your skin. By the time the "bubbles" show up, the oil is typically long gone. However, you must be careful about infection and scarring when "popping" so it is best to speak with your doctor.
