What would happen if you ate some Poison Ivy?

The reaction caused by poison ivy, urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, is an allergic reaction. For this reason some people do not respond to the "poison" because they simply do not have an allergy to urushiol. However, sensitivity can develop over time. For those who are affected by it, it causes a very irritating rash. If poison ivy is burned and the smoke then inhaled, this rash will appear on the lining of the lungs, causing extreme pain and possibly fatal respiratory difficulty. If poison ivy is eaten, the digestive tract and airways will be affected, in some cases causing death.\n\nUrushiol oil can remain viable on dead poison ivy plants and other surfaces for up to 5 years and will cause the same effect.\n\nSo if you ate some poison ivy, I recommend rushing to a hospital.

No, but did you hear?  Poison Ivy and MnG have been having an illicit affair?  Not with each other---They have both fallen in love with the same jar of marmalade.  I can't WAIT until they find out ole "jarry" is the same for each one of them!  They'll just DIE!

A friend's ex-wife poisoned his dinner while we were out of the house.  Since we shared it, no one died, but we both got a really bad case of the runs.  Considering how ill I was and double it, I would guess even if he'd eaten the whole thing it wouldn't have killed him.  \nThough I don't know how much she put in there.\n\nThat stuff has a definite smell. \n\nIt really depends on the immune system and constituion of the victim.  If they're already sick, probably not much.\n A healthy adult:  Probably a lot. An ounce or more?

Once in the morning and once at night.\n\nIf you have manzanita plants in your area, pick a few leaves and boil them in water.  Then dab the liquid on the rash.  It dries up poison oak within a couple of days.  I hope it works on poison ivy.

you would become very sick, very sick!! Hopefully you would end up in the hospital where they give you charcoal to slow down the medicine in your body and then you get to have a psych consult!! You would more than likely damage your liver, your heart and whatever else, that and you end up with really black colored mouth and lips from the charcoal and it does not come off easy....not to mention the oh so fun pumping of the stomach..and large bore IV's running full tilt....yeah rocking good time

I believe that all it could possibly do is make you vomit but no real life threatening problems. It depends on the amount. For instance, in the sport of paintball players sometimes are shot in the face. the liquid within the paintball then goes through the breathing holes on the masks and is sometimes ingested. it doesn't taste too good but that won't make you ill. as for the shell, I wouldn't know. I haven't eaten that part. But "eating paint" (as its called when you're shot in the mask) is a normal thing and cannot harm you.

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

Yes- it definately sounds like an allergy.  Allergies don't necessarily show themselves as rashes.  I would definately not eat them again especially since it compromises your breathing.

Poison ivy creates a rash due to an oil that it secrets. So yes if you come in contact with the oil you can get poison ivy.

Salt. Your body cant process it in large quantities and it will end up poisoning you

Poison will cause ill effects whomever drinks it. There\nonce was a (so-called) preacher (Jim Jones) who took all his congregation to an island, fed them poison, and they all died. The people were innocent, but the preacher was a devil in disguise, and fooled the people into following him. It\nwas a very sad case.

Poison Ivy can be very dangerous, I have it in my backyard. Put coritzone cream on your arm and flush your eye thoroughly. Maybe put a very subtle, light, moisturizer to keep your eye from swelling or becoming irritated and red.

You would gain a little protein and a bad taste in your mouth.
