Can you get poison ivy on your tongue how do you treat it?
You can, if you have placed the leaves in contact with your tongue, or with something that had the plant's toxins (Urushiol) on it.

In this unusual case, your doctor might consider a course of prednisone (which I'd recommend he start with an injection). If this in any way comes even a little close to impairing your breathing, off you go to the Emergency room. Poison Ivy works as an allergy works, with all the incumbant dangers allergies present. You can also get it in your mouth or tongue by burning it. The toxins travel in the smoke as well.
