    Unfortunately, not. The only way to protect yourself is to cover up - long sleeves, gloves, etc. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/weeds/poison-ivy-control.htm

    The best way to remove Poison Ivy is to pull the plant up.
    The roots go deep on this weed, so it is difficult to get all of it.

    Any chemical that you use will also kill the Pampas Grass.

    Here is an article that has more information.

    The best solution I've found is to very carefully pull up as many plants as you can while wearing gloves and placing them directly into a garbage bag. If a plant is too big to pull up, then cut it off at the base and kill the stump with either boiling water or a dab of herbicide.

    Also see this article for ways to do this:
