Can humans eat poison ivy?
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!Material from It's a Dog's Life... but It's Your Carpet, available at amazon.com.

Can poison ivy transfer from one person to another person by rubbing up against them?
Urushiol (pronounced oo-roo-shee-ohl), is a chemical in the sap of poison ivy, this sap can stick to people, pets, garden tools, balls, or anything it comes in contact with. If the urushiol isn't washed off those objects or animals, just touching them--for example, picking up a ball, petting a dog, or hugging a gardener could cause a reaction in a susceptible person. Urushiol that's rubbed off the plants onto other things can remain potent for years, depending on the environment.
Can poison ivy blind people?
yes it is contagious. It also gets on furniture and clothes. When my son had it I bought and egg crate and made him stay on it until it healed. Then I threw the egg crate away. Use gloves when touching clothes to wash. Call pharmacy and talk with them they can tell you what to do. This above answer is very misleading, as only under certain circumstances can one get poison ivy from another person. When the original oils from the plant are still one your skin, it is contagious to someone else, but these original oils are taken away once the first shower is taken. After the first shower is taken, an individual is no longer contagious. Any liquid that is produced by ones body due to the poison ivy, however gross, can not give someone else an outbreak.
What is the irritant in poison ivy?

At the same time, it is an allergen that also may have fatal consequences when the face, the neck and throat, and the respiratory tract are involved.

If a dog eat rat poison does it get a rash?
Your dog may develop a rash several days to a week after ingesting some types of rat poison because it is having a bleeding crisis. One type of rat poison works by eliminating Vitamin K from the body, which keeps the dog from being able to clot its blood. Over time, this will kill the dog (and is how it kills rats, too) unless it is treated by a veterinarian. If you know that your dog recently ate rat poison, get it to the veterinarian immediately - this is a medical emergency.

How does poison ivy rash start out?
Typically several hours to about a day after contact with the poison ivy plant (the leaves or the vine) or oil from the plant. Note that you can get a poison ivy rash if someone who is not sensitive touches the plant and then gets urushiol (the oil that causes a reaction in some people to poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac) on your skin. You can even get a poison ivy rash from petting your dog or cat after it has brushed up against a poison ivy plant. Also note that the vines and the leaves can contain urushiol long after the plant has died, and burning poison ivy foliage can release the urushiol into the air, potentially causing a poison ivy rash on the inside of your lungs. If you know that you have come in contact with poison ivy but have not yet developed the rash, you may be able to prevent or reduce the rash by washing in cold water with special soap that binds to the urushiol. However, washing in warm or hot water will spread the urushiol across a larger area of skin.
