No. Vicks VapoRub is for external use only and should not be eaten or swallowed.

Why you should not eat it

Vicks VapoRub contains camphor, menthol, and other ingredients that are safe only when used on intact skin as directed on the label. When swallowed, camphor can be toxic and may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, seizures, coma, and even death, especially in children.

If someone has already eaten it

If you or someone else has eaten Vicks VapoRub, contact your local poison control center or seek urgent medical care, even if there are no symptoms yet. Do not try to induce vomiting unless a medical professional specifically instructs you to do so.
