text: is it possible to overdose on carrots? here's the skinny, i rarely eat carrots, but occasionally (~once a month), i buy a 2lb bag of baby carrots and snack away at them down, sometimes chowing the whole bag in a sitting.  so, i was wondering if there were any bad side effects to getting so much vitamin a at once.  any thoughts? i don't think there's anything wrong with downing a whole bag in one sitting, but sustained carrot binging my make you go orange.    seriously.  am not making that up.  it's the kerotane in them.    carrots are dangerous and should only be used in moderation.
