Pick your poison.

Turpentine is a distilled organic fluid obtained by the complex distillation of resin obtained from trees, mainly various species of pine. It is flammable and volatile.

Turpenoid is a distilled mineral spirit usually made from a petroleum base. It is reasonably nonflammable and has low volatility.

Ingesting either is bad. On the inhalant side turpentine is the bad actor.

Being a tree resin like damar, turpentine works well when mixed with damar. Turpenoid does not.
