The best tasting honey that I have ever encountered was labeled as being from poison oak (this was many years ago, in Oregon). I don’t know if eating this honey would produce an allergic reaction, as I seem to be immune to poison oak, or at least have never had a reaction during some 30 years of playing, hunting, and working in the woods of Western Oregon. Should have tried some out on my eldest brother, who will break out if you show him a reasonably accurate drawing of a poison oak leaf.

According to an article I found on the internet (the website *did* have a .edu domain), pollen and nectar from poison oak do not contain urushiol, the allergenic compound.

I haven’t had a poison oak reaction in probably 30 years. I must have learned how to avoid it really well after a few nasty experiences with it.
