Since you have only eaten these carrots over a short period of time, you should be fine. This is of course unless you continue to eat the carrots which in between 4-7 weeks will begin to give you a yellow to orange tint in your skin. It take a while for the pigment to accept the affects of carotenemia.

I think you should just slow down on the carrots, maybe add in greens with it in order to avoid getting orange around the nose.

They make your skin change color?! Holy crap...I ate a bunch of carrotts today too... lol uh oh!

I don't think so. You'd probably have to do that day after day for it to affect you like that.

Yeah you'll turn orange. It only lasts a few weeks though :)

One large dose won't change your skin color. Many large doses over time will change your skin color. Tomato juice will do likewise. It's a large dose over time. It has to build up in your skin. Don't worry. It is reversible.
