How much exposure is needed to get mothball sickness? and how long do symptoms last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't count the time: Naphthalene has a bad smell. Human toxicity is not always correlated with intensity of the smell. Moth balls can be merely irritating for some people or can have instant toxic effects on others. This is not predictable in advance unless you have prior voc or chemical sensitivity. Best try to avoid them always.
