That sounds like a terrible idea. Context: I’m terribly allergic and many folks are.

I’ve never heard of poison oak honey. Hopefully there is no oils in it. Let us know how it works.
Hmm, that's a point. Do you mean more allergic than most? I mean most (all?) people get a rash from touching it, right? But the honey is definitely a thing and somewhat different...

I did a search or two - I'm interested in the concept, even if I probably wouldn't use it.
I found a BrewBoard thread from about 10 years ago. http://www.brewboard.com/index.php?showtopic=84414
There's a little info there,
along with a couple other leads in the google search, plus a couple possible sources - who knows if everything is still up-to-date and active.

Huh, cool, thanks. Not sure why I didn't find that myself...
I'm pretty sure I tried a poison oak mead a while ago at a homebrew meetup but can't remember which or any other details other than that it was delicious and kinda woodsy tasting. Well maybe I'll try and report back

Getting itchy just reading... where's my calamine lotion?
I'd like to say don't name it "Poison Oak Mead", but part of me wants you to.

What's the scientific name for poison oak?
I'm gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion...
Having had severe reaction to poison ivy, oak and sumac I'm sorry but can't even imagine drinking even if the bees rendered the poison neutral.
Not joking. I'm now itchy from reading.

How can that be? I remember you from the cartoon, you were very tough. Maybe it's your kryptonite.
Well... we all have our weakness. Mine are apparently beer, poison ivy, oak, sumac, beer, attractive women, beer... ;-)
