Feeling stupid but I'll ask anyway

Can RES be affected by poison ivy? I have a plastic pool I put Sheldon in outside. With the horrible weather her pool blew away and landed in a GIANT patch of poison ivy. I know part of the issue with poison ivy is that it's an oil. Should I wash the pool out with anything? Can I leave it alone? Any thought/experience would be appreciated.

Thanks

Should be fine, but I would make the next water change/tank maintenance a little sooner than planned.

Do you think washing the pool out with vinegar would make sense? By the way, its not her regular habitat it's just a contained outside space for her.

Maybe rinse, dry, rinse and dry again? I wouldn't be too concerned about it if it was done throughly.
