今晚吃完晚餐

大夥都在客廳休息

忽然覺得安靜的不太對勁

開始尋找喨喨的蹤影

呼叫了她幾聲，都沒有回應

老媽我趕緊起身找人

走到遊戲室，不見小孩人影

又到主臥房，還是沒看到小孩

正覺得奇怪，忽然有聽到稀稀疏疏的聲音

走進一看~~

差點沒昏倒!!!!!

喨喨拿椅子爬上櫃子拿了小孩的綜合維他命

躲在房間的小角落(蹲在床旁，完全被床鋪擋住，掩護的很好)

開心的在“享用”

我真的快急死了

一天一顆的維他命

她吃了快20顆

馬上帶她去廁所要把嘴巴裡剩餘的挖出來

她居然大哭，死命的緊閉著嘴巴，保護嘴裡僅剩的一小塊

很怕她會vitamin A中毒

趕緊打電話諮詢並上網查了一下

還好~~還好~~

小孩一天要攝取33萬IU才有急性中毒問題

這綜合維他命一顆vitamin A 含量1000 IU

沒有over dose 的問題

真的快嚇死我了!!!!

不過，到了晚上睡覺時間

這臭小孩攝取過多vitamin B精神亢奮

原本10:00會睡覺

硬是嗨到12:00才睡

現在這瓶維他命和其他的藥

已經被我收到更高的櫃子了

希望不要再發生這種悲劇了~~~

話說回來

這naturemade瓶蓋設計是要下壓才能轉開

沒想到喨喨居然有辦法轉開

我該稱讚她嗎?????

Vitamin A Overdose

Vitamin A overdose can occur when doses are taken in excess of 660,000 IU (200 mg of retinol equivalents) for adults and 330,000 IU (100 mg of retinol equivalents) for children. These are usually accidental overdoses, and the adverse reactions are typically temporary, including loss of appetite, irritability, fatigue, weakness and vomiting.

Chronic vitamin A overdose may occur after many months of daily intake of vitamin A in amounts greater than 25,000 IU in adults, and 14,000 IU in children. This is most likely to develop in people using high doses of vitamin A compounds for the treatment skin disorders, or in those with poor liver function.

Symptoms of chronic vitamin A overdose in infants include growth retardation of the long bones and premature epiphyseal bone closing. In adults, chronic vitamin A overdose can cause a variety of maladies, ranging from dry and itchy skin, dry and brittle fingernails, hair loss, bone and muscle pain, and headaches to visual changes, fatigue, irritability, depression, schizophrenia, fever, liver damage, anemia, and loss of appetite. Generally, these conditions start disappearing as vitamin A intake is decreased.

For these reasons, in 2000 the National Academy of Sciences set upper intake levels for preformed vitamin A as follows:

• 
  

  Children 3 years or younger, 600 mcg (2,000 IU) per day

  
  
• 
  

  Children 4-8 years, 900 cg (3,000 IU)

  
  
• 
  

  Children 9-14 years, 1,700 mcg (5,666 IU)

  
  
• 
  

  Teenagers 14-18 years, 2,800 mcg (9,333 IU)

  
  
• 
  

  Adults 19 years and older, 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU)

  
  
• 
  

  Pregnant or lactating women 18 years or younger, 2,800 mcg (9,333 IU)

  
  
• 
  

  Pregnant or lactating women 19 years or older, 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU)

  
  

It is important to note that, while chronic vitamin A overdose in both children and adults does not typically cause permanent damage, vitamin A is toxic to an unborn child and can cause severe birth defects, including cleft palate and spina bifida, when it is taken in daily doses greater than 10,000 IU by pregnant women. It is, therefore, recommended that women desiring to conceive limit their intake of supplemental vitamin A to no more than 5,000 IU per day.

No RDA has yet been established for beta-carotene. Beta carotene has two roles in the body. It can be converted into vitamin A if the body needs it. However, if the body has enough vitamin A, beta carotene acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from harmful free radical damage.

Beta-carotene supplementation does not produce any significant toxicity in spite of its high dosage use use in the treatment of many photosensitive disorders. High intake of carotenoid-containing foods or supplements is believed to be quite safe and without any toxic side effects. The skin may turn slightly yellow-orange in color when very large amounts are taken, but will return to normal with decreased intake.

Recommended daily dosages established for beta-carotene are as follows:

Infants(0-12 mo.): 60-1,200 mcg

Children(1-3 yr.): 60-1,200 mcg

(4-8 yr.): 60-1,800 mcg

(9-13 yr.): 60-3,400 mcg

Young adults(14-18 yr.): 130-5,600 mcg

Adults : 130-6,00 mcg
