    Yes Camphor is Harmful for Us.Camphor should never be ingested orally as it may cause conditions like tachycardia, visual disturbances, urinary retention, albuminous and elevations of liver enzymes. In advanced stages toxicity leads to Depression and sometimes coma. Death can occur from respiratory failure or status epileptics. Ingestion of even little as 700 to 1000 mg of camphor has been known to be fatal in children.
