If you were to have poison ivy in your mouth, would it kill you?

I don't think that having poison ivy in your mouth would kill you. It would probably just give them a rash in your mouth, but I couldn't find anything to said if it was in a liquid form. Most places listed it as the leaf form, or you had it on your fingers and touched the inside of your mouth. I would bet brewing the ivy might make it less of an irritant? Just guessing. Also, not everyone is even allergic to poison ivy. I even read one report that if you ingest poison ivy over a certain period of time, you will become immune to it!

Of course, if he has a damage in his mouth's tissue, you will infect him.

There is no cure for poison ivy.  Just calamine lotion to help with the itching.  If it is too bad your doctor can prescribe something for you to put on it and pills to take.\nBad news.  Once you get it you can catch it easily for the next seven years.  Good Luck.

I was given this drug when I had poison ivy, what are you taking it for???\nI would think it is dangerous for a baby, doesn't your doctor think so???\nI would get off of it as soon as possible if you are pregnant...\nIt is a strong drug...\nThey wouldn't let me have it very long...

Its poisonous. Its multiple hydroxyl groups can pass it off as a sugar into tissues where it can wreck havoc.

I get poison ivy constantly. If you call your doctors office and just tell them you need a prescription for a Z Pack. It is  a steroid that will dry up poison ivy quickly. They will call the perscription in to the pharmacy without even having to see the doctor. I know this because I work in healthcare.\n\nIt's your best defense!

phytotoxin is a poison.  It's mainly in plants.  Ricin is one of the major phytotoxins.. it's a protein poison. It's made from the waste left over from processing castor beans.\n\nAlso it's aerosol.  So if a human inhales it, major changes will happen within hours effecting the respitory system.   \n\nIf eaten, ricin causes severe pains int he stomach and can cause a person to collapse and die.

It depends on the amount you have ingested.  Generally not from a contact high though.

Not all poisons are proteins by any means.  \n\nThe answer really would depend on the poison, but for most of them, they would be rendered non-poisonous after they had burned.\n\n(That doesn't mean it would  be a good idea to burn poisons in a barrel in your backyard or anything,)

theoretically yes, probably not...unless you have open sores or cuts in your mouth.

poison ivy doesnt just break out where you touch it...it can also break out all through your body, even if contact was only with your hands/feet/head etc. it can also swell your windpipe to the point of suffocation (almost happened to me)

Once you have the rash the oil has been absorbed and you probably can't spread it to others or elsewhere on yourself. If you get big blisters filled with liquid it is mostly water and will not spread the rash even if they break.It Is important to remember poison ivy rash is actually caused by Urushiol the toxin found in poison ivy,sumac and oak.If you soak in a tub and the Urushiol is released into the water it can spread on your body,so take a cool shower but not a bath.

The tree is indeed cllaed thunderwood, the alternative name is posion sumac. It is every bit as nasty as your reltives describe.\n\nOne author describes this poison as "a violent skin irritant," and he says that "Some persons are more susceptible to the poison than others." Another author describes this as "One of the most dangerous North American plants [that] for many people, causes a rash upon contact." And it must be noted that any contact from the Poison Sumac with eyes, mouth, or nostrils would be extremely dangerous! In any case, a person who even suspects contact with any part of the Poison Sumac plant should wash the exposed skin at once and thoroughly with strong soap and water. A physician's advice should be sought as well.
