The key word here is poison..... "poison oak" and yes, it can make you sick, hallucinate, have a fever and be fatigued for a couple of weeks. I am extremely allergic and have been to urgent care more than once. I live in Oregon and I am fairly certain it's the state flower. It's everywhere and very hard to avoid. Nasty stuff and not to be taken lightly.....

Does burning dead poison oak in wood stove put off a poison gas?

Burning poison oak (or poison ivy or poison sumac) can release the urushiol, which is the oily substance in poison oak that many (but not all) people have strong reactions to. Worse, the urushiol will be carried in the smoke from the fire, and it will get into the lungs of anyone who breathes in the smoke. If you think that having poison oak on your arms and legs is bad, just imagine having that poison oak reaction on the inside of your lungs.Bottom line: do not ever burn poison oak.
