| Is it possible to inhale the oil from poison ivy, not from a burning plant. I was looking under my deck yesterday and as I did I noticed I picked a terrible spot to look as there was poison ivy in my face. Shortly after I got a stinging/numbing feeling on my tongue and on my throat. I did not touch the plant however but I had heard if you were extremely allergic as I seem to have been my whole life you could catch it just from the wind blowing it in your direction. I haven't had any bumps appear on my face or hands however my throat & tongue did, they swelled up as well. I took Benadryl and it took away the swelling & stinging sensation for a while. I still have bumps on both places though. |
