I'm pretty sure that is not possible, but if it were you would have to already have poisen ivy , then tough your mouth/throat. Or if some one prepared you food who hade poisen ivy. (If you were in a restaurant that would NOT happen though).

If it hurts to swallow you might have strep thought which is a bacterial infection of the throat, which can only be PERMENENTLEY cured by a perscribed anti.biotic
If you somehow ingest it.

Yes. The oil that causes the poison ivy rash can be moved to any part of your body by hand contact.

If you get it on your face or lips inside your mouth you should seek medical help.

Does burning dead poison oak in wood stove put off a poison gas?

Burning poison oak (or poison ivy or poison sumac) can release the urushiol, which is the oily substance in poison oak that many (but not all) people have strong reactions to. Worse, the urushiol will be carried in the smoke from the fire, and it will get into the lungs of anyone who breathes in the smoke. If you think that having poison oak on your arms and legs is bad, just imagine having that poison oak reaction on the inside of your lungs.Bottom line: do not ever burn poison oak.
