Topic: Can you get sick from eating too many multi-vitamins?

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #12,174

I've had six Flintstonse Sour Gummies today because they are so damn good. The bottle says that adults should only take two and kids should take one.

I looked online and I couldn't find anything except stuff about how many is too many, it says that you will either have to have your stomach pumped or you just will have really bright yellow piss.

Anyone ever have this happen to them before?

Yes - you will be overdosing on the iron within the pills. This can be fatal, and is more common in children. Are you a child?

I'm serious about the vitamin thing, should I be seriously worried anyway I could just drink some stuff from a gas station and piss it out?
