Ant, thanks for putting up the extra information. I've never read anything on the subject, I just know my folks have had no poison ivy breakouts since they started regularly eating the fresh fruit. I'm sure they always peal the things before eating. I've seen them do this a few times. And they are not the type that casually repeats BS, without finding out for themselves.
Someone who is extra sensitive to poison ivy would probably need to use caution when handling them.
