Yup! Keep some Tecnu to wash with on hand, it’s great.

You’re right. Use a scrubby soap. Then use it again. And again. Get that sticky oil off of you.

Leaves aren’t shiny; could be boxelder.
E: retracting this suggestion, as I just noticed that the leaflet clusters are arranged alternately, not oppositely. That’s poison ivy, as others ID’d.

The leaf shape and leaf pattern is identical fir poison ivy. It’s definitely not boxelder.

If you wash right away you should be fine!
Also, anything that came into contact with it (shoes, clothing, gardening equipment) needs to be washed off bc oils can stay active for a long time on objects
