Should you be eating poison oak?

Probably not. But Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz decided
to try anyway, putting his body — and specifically his butt — on
the line to answer a seemingly straightforward question: Is it

Jeff Horwitz, reporter at the Wall Street Journal; and Mahmoud
ElSohly, professor of pharmaceutics at the University of
Mississippi For show transcripts, go to vox.com/unxtranscripts For
