Most of these sites refer to a form of camphor no longer legally
available. It was indeed, toxic, and was also used in manufacturing
illicit drugs. Small dosages were quite harmful. The stuff out there now
isn't nearly as bad, and in fact, as we've already pointed out, you can
buy it for "Cooking".
I'm just pointing out that a lot of these sites refer to camphorated
oil, and other substances. They'll be more yellow, or thicker, and tiny
amounts can really be quite dangerous.

Hi Bodhi,
Whether you consider the info nonsense or not, or consider it's
concentration or form as somehow ignored or passed over in the quoted
text, I'd suggest that you consider the possible consequences for those
who are not able to determine the quality or potency of whatever source
they come across.
The site provided is only one of many, and is demonstrably competent to
distinguish between camphor as a pure substance or an oil, manufactured
or natural, etc.
I hold no brief any particular way regarding camphor, but intend to
introject a note of caution regarding a potentially lethal grey-marketed
substance; as should you. With an LD50 of one gram for a child this is
not a marketed substance you should tout without proper cautionary
remarks.
