A member asked:
If you licked someone's poison ivy rash could you get the rash in your mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The rash is caused by a type of allergy to the oil in the plant. If the oil is still on the skin and you put the skin in your mouth then you can get swelling in and around the mouth.
