Answer

There could have been some close to you that you didn't see. If the wind is blowing a certain way it can jump on you! Trust me, i'm REALLY allergic to it. I have to go get a shot when I get it lol.

You could of passed down wind of a fire that had ivy in it. Also, the oil could of come in contact with your skin from somebody else's clothes or previously contaminated items. 

Just remember not to scratch and use lotion to help dry it out.
