A member asked:

I inhaled a large amount of eucalyptus oil after applying it full strength to the skin for relaxing purposes in the feet. is it dangerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptoms?: It is usually does not cause any harm. However it can cause "pneumonia" like symptoms, cough, breathing difficulties etc, if inhaled in large amount... It is called "lipoid pneumonia"... I would strongly recommend to have "pulmonary consultation".. To start with chest x-ray or CT scan to determine extent of damage...
