The key word here is poison..... "poison oak" and yes, it can make you sick, hallucinate, have a fever and be fatigued for a couple of weeks. I am extremely allergic and have been to urgent care more than once. I live in Oregon and I am fairly certain it's the state flower. It's everywhere and very hard to avoid. Nasty stuff and not to be taken lightly.....

All three plants have an oil that if it still is on the person or clothes, then yes you can. Once a person has shed their clothes and taken a shower, the oil is gone and and you can't spread the rash. Some people get poison ivy from their pets, if their pets have gotten the oil on their fur.
