I also question whether you can receive continuous sinus infections from inhaling or coming in close contact with poison ivy, oak or sumac. I recently wan on a full month of prednisone & anti biotics for a recurring sinus infection. 2 months later I came in contact with poison sumac which grows profusesly along my back fence, right outside my bedroom windows which are open most of the time. After the rash appeared, I began to have sinus headache & symptoms again which lasted about 3 days. I truly believe there is a connection with the plant & sinuses. If anyone agrees, please let me know, so I don't think I am losing my mind. Thanks.
