I've managed to do this twice. The first time I did it I was hiking in the ivy and stupidly laid in my hammock without changing clothes first. Don't do that. The second was last week, where I used my hammock a bunch of times last summer and got ivy oil on my hammock. Last week I laid in the hammock in my yard for the first time and got a nice pre-season case of poison ivy itch and bumps. I wrote about the situation on the Hammock Facebook group for advice and several good people advised me to wash the hammock with a little Dawn dish detergent and water. I did that and the oil is now off the hammock.
