Do not ingest poison oak !
The poison can cause severe intestinal damage. It can cause the same damage in your intestinal tract as it causes on the skin and lungs. Very bad. I do not want to tell horror stories about patients (mostly children) that had the reactions. Believe me, it is not what you want.

If it is really an old remedy  of the native indians - it can easily be, there immune system has another "code"
