Didn't know it was ivy when i was dared to eat it, but i ate a foot long stem including the three leaves... violent throwing up reaction ensued immediately with a sensation of having a rod covered in hot sandpaper from the back of my throught down to my chest. This was 48 hours ago, I'm alive and the pain has subsided a bit but is still prominent. Does anyone know anything about this? Is all ivy poisonous? How long before it stops? Yes yes dumbest thing ever, which is why I can't find any information about it. HELP
