The irritant in poison oak/ivy that makes you break out is present in all parts of the plant- leaves, stem, berries, roots. When burned, it can also be given off in the smoke. It would be a good idea to remove any large poison ivy vines, and dispose of them before burning the wood.
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.
