no it spreads the poison, it will pop on it's on, plus you could make it scar, like with other blisters

I have to correct the original person that posted - you cannot spread "poison" by popping the bubbles. The fluid in the bubbles is produced by your body and caused by the reaction to the plant's oil that was deposited on your skin. By the time the "bubbles" show up, the oil is typically long gone. However, you must be careful about infection and scarring when "popping" so it is best to speak with your doctor.
