Yes, depending upon the situation. It's considered a medical emergency any time that poison ivy attacks the face and the neck. It's also considered a medical emergency any time that the vapors are inhaled. Fire may be a way of controlling poison ivy. But it's a poor choice, for the vapors are even more potent than oils.

If you ate a poison ivy, you have 70 percent of dying!!!!! Otherwise you would just be sick for a long time(a month or more). You are gonna be itching and scratching for almost everyday, so, people taking care of you has to wear something to protect itself otherwise they would be poisoned as well.

If you ate poison ivy, you are dumb enough to jump of a building!!!!!!!!!!

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's possible to die from eating poison ivy [Toxicodendron radicans]. It isn't that poison ivy is poisonous or toxic. Instead, it's considered the source of human allergic reactions to its highly irritating urushiol oil. That reaction may be life threatening when the throat, face and chest are affected. Specifically, the severest of reactions may result in swelling and blocking of the respiratory tract.

No, you cannot eat poison ivy. It is poisonous and you will get poisoned and likely get those poison ivy blisters in the inside of your mouth. (YOU WOULD DEFINITELY NOT WANT THAT.)
