Cecil sez a woman once died from carotenosis, but I dunno if that’s the real cause of death. Observe:

Catotenosis is a symptom of hypercarotenemia.

This study shows no ill effect of hypercarotenemia.

Hypercarotenemia can sometimes be an indication of anorexia; that is, the person eats a lot of low-calorie vegetables.
