Can you die from getting poison ivy?
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.
You crushed your heel 2 years ago but still in a lot of pain in my foot will a sterioid injction done in hospital work?
Try it. You might like it. Steroids are strictly symptomatic relief. A steroid is not a cure for anything. A doctor can give you a steroid injection in his office and it will do you as much good as one done in a hospital. Steroids wear off. Steroids reduce pain and swelling so the regular treatment (which may be time) can take effect. They are not a long term solution.

Are butterflies poisonous are any poisonous if they are which are poisonous if one is poisonous how does it poison you?
Let's make a distinction here between "venomous" and "toxic."Some butterflies are toxic: if you eat them, they'll poison you. In many cases, this is because when the butterfly was a caterpillar, it ate a plant that contained a poison and stored the poison up in its body. The monarch butterfly is one example: monarch caterpillars love milkweed, many species of which contain cardiac glycosides that disrupt the functioning of the heart.However, no butterflies are venomous: they can't bite or sting you and inject poison (I'm not aware of any butterflies that can bite at all).As long as you're not eating them, they're pretty harmless.
Do you pop the poison ivy bubbles?
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.

However, you must be careful about infection and scarring when "popping" so it is best to speak with your doctor.
