No, but it can give you a nasty case of internal poison ivy. Don't do it!

The person who wrote the answer above has no idea what they are talking about! The correct answer IS No, you wont become immune to it BUT you also wont develop any irritation internally!! I have been drinking poison ivy as a child and still am very fond of the tea. Also the irritation caused by poison ivy is not contagious, the irritation only occurs when the person comes into direct contact with the plant. As a child i picked poison ivy with my mother for tea and often "burned" myself. An easy and quick way to relieve irritation is to not disturb the effected area. If you don't touch it the irritation will pass in a few minutes. If irritation persists simply dab some tea tree oil over the effected area.

Can you drink poision with tea and live?

I wouldn't trust this myth to put my own life on it. Poison is poison is poison, and I would think that the addition of tea would only help if one of the chemicals in the tea itself acted as an antidote to the poison. That said, think about this: tea made from hemlock was used as an execution method back in the greek days.
