VapoRub's active ingredients include camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol. Inactive ingredients include cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, petrolatum, thymol and turpentine oil. The ointment is generally safe when used as directed, but Allergies or misuse of VapoRub can cause potentially serious side effects. VapoRub should never be ingested, since the ingredients -- especially camphor -- can be toxic.

No person or animal should ever eat Vick's Vapor Rub. This is because the main ingredient is camphor. Camphor can cause coma or death if it is ingested.
