Can humans eat poison ivy

Answer 1

Can dogs get poison ivy? They can, but thankfully, dogs don't seem to get poison ivy nearly as commonly as humans. Thanks to their long, protective hair coat, the oils from poison ivy just can't reach the skin. Unfortunately, these oils can be spread from Itchy Izzy to you. Use caution when hiking through poison ivy with Izzy and avoid petting her immediately after. If you bring a towel, dry wipe her off after hiking (while wearing gloves!). Often you can minimize the likelihood of her transmitting these oils to you. If itchy Izzy has short hair and does get poison ivy, try bathing her in a colloidal oatmeal shampoo - they have them for dogs too!

Yes dogs can get poison oak just like humans can. What usually happens is the sap gets attatched to the dogs hair when walking in wooded areas typically and when you pet your dog the sap can transfer from their fur to your skin.
