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.....
No, you only get the poison from the plant.
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.
Like many other plants, poison oak will die when it runs out of nutrients, encounters other unfavorable growth conditions, or is treated with a herbicide that is meant to intentionally kill the plant.
No. Poison oak is not a tree, but a vine. Oak trees grow from acorns.
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.
sumac
Urushiol
Clorine pools can kill any kind of poison ivy,oak or summac. Pouring gasoline on it can do it 2.
