Bringing down your cool weather clothes from the attic? Beware of mothballs. The ingestion of just one mothball can cause significant problems. Naphthalene - an offending chemical found in some brands of mothballs - is toxic to dogs, cats and other animals, and if ingested, can cause serious illness, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, swelling of the brain tissue, seizures, damage to the liver, kidneys and blood cells, coma and even death.
