My cousin had a fireplace built when he built his new home. It was huge the fireplace and the house (3500 sq. ft). He cut some logs from the woods on his property. Unbeknownst to him evidently there was some poison ivy/sumac/oak. He and his family were all allergic to it. Within hours the whole family ended up in the hospital in ICU. They all had it on them and inhaled when it burned. He didn't realize burning poison ivy and the like would do harm like it did. They had to open the house, bought regular lumber from the home improvement store and burned it hoping it would help rid the house of the poison spores. They had professional housecleaning crew clean their new home from top to bottom. They were just that afraid. They made their own potion of Dawn and white vinegar and sprayed any poison plants on their property and were quite careful of any other wood they cut from their woods.
