Urushiol


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.

What is a rash LIKE poison ivy but not if it weren't march and if i didn't know how i could have been exposed i would have sworn it is poison ivy?

It could be from poison oak or sumac, which are very similar to poison ivy. It could also be a reaction to something else you rubbed against or something you ate or put on your skin (like a cream). If anti-itch cream or poison ivy-like relief medications don't work and the rash persists or spreads or gets worse for a few more days or so, go to a doctor. They could probably help tell you more clearly what might be wrong.
