The only problem I've heard resulting from an "overdose" of the natural kind has been a yellowing of the skin, which goes away once proper dosage is undertaken.

It is helpful to know zinc is the 'door' that opens the liver to release excess vitamin A; even 10-15 mg. of zinc would be adequate. It is very important not to take too much of anything but I believe those people who suffered the most were taking very large doses of vitamin A and not using sufficient zinc. Thank you for all the wonderful information you provide!
