Used tiger balm, 8 weeks pregnant!

I’ve been dealing with achy joints all day and my partner rubbed a tiny amount into my back and hips. I don’t know why I didn’t check before whether it was safe and now I’m panicking as I know camphor is not recommended for pregnancy (when ingested) but I’m hoping that this tiny one off shouldn’t be dangerous as was only applied topically?!

The pharmacy gave me tiger balm to use during my first pregnancy as it was the only thing suitable. Your not digesting it.
