From cultural remedy to medical emergency: a case report of camphor toxicity in a one-year-old male patient

This case highlights the dangers of camphor exposure, particularly in young children, and the need for healthcare providers to consider CMP poisoning in cases of unexplained seizures. It also underscores the importance of educating parents about the safe storage of camphor-containing products. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of camphor toxicity and develop effective public health measures to prevent such poisonings.
