The aim of this work is to use linear programming and polyhedral geometry to prove a duality formula for the ic-resurgence of edge ideals. We show that the ic-resurgence of the edge ideal $I$ of a clutter $\mathcal{ C}$ and the ic-resurgence of the edge ideal $I^\vee$ of the blocker $\mathcal{ C}^\vee$ of $\mathcal{ C}$ coincide. If $\mathcal{ C}$ is the clutter of bases of certain uniform matroids, we recover a formula for the resurgence of $I$, and if $\mathcal{ C}$ is a connected non-bipartite graph with a perfect matching, we show a formula for the Waldschmidt constant of $I^\vee$.
