Will pantyhose prevent exposure to poison ivy?
Question:
Answers:
They don't protect from ticks - ticks will climb up until they find skin. So will redbugs (chiggers). They love the waist-band because it is warm and moist.
No, they don't completely protect against the oils if you get enough on you any more than they protect against water or coffee being spilled on your legs. They will help against a casual brush-by only, not hiking through.
Other Answers:
yes
Nope they've got mini holes in them that poison ivy can penetrate since any part of the ivy can infect you. i.e an ivy leaf being drug accross your panty hoe, entering the mini holes, and causing you to break out.
There is no way pantyhose can keep the oil from poison ivy off your skin. Granted the weave is tight but the oil can penetrate them, the same way the oil may penetrate clothes
yes, but why where panthose outside where u are exposed to it?

Sorry but no that doesn't work ! I had hose on and brushed up against a bush that had some in it and still got the poison ivy real bad !!
It may prevent some but I think some oil would penetrate
