Abstract
Camphor poisoning remains a significant threat to public health. Illustrative cases are presented with a suggested therapeutic approach utilizing diazepam for seizure control. National and local statistics document the substantial amount of camphor distributed yearly to the general public in a number of over-the-counter preparations. Widespread availability coupled with human error account for camphor poisonings and suggests that administrative action is essential to remove these archaic and unnecessary products from the market place.
