Humans can develop a reaction to poison oak primarily through direct contact with the plant itself, rather than from animals. However, animals such as dogs and cats can carry the plant's oils (urushiol) on their fur after encountering poison oak, potentially transferring it to humans through petting or close contact. It's important for pet owners to be aware of this risk if their pets roam in areas where poison oak grows.
