Camphor toxicity

E Siegel et al. Pediatr Clin North Am. 1986 Apr.

Abstract

Camphor is present in several over-the-counter compounds of questionable use and therefore may be ingested by small children. Because seizures may follow ingestion of certain amounts, appropriate treatment is needed, including the use of anticonvulsants.
