Answers:
If you have healthy kidneys it is almost impossible to overdose on B12

Signs of over dose: numbness of any part of the body, itch, a feeling of burning pain or pricking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dermatologic: Itching, rash, transitory exanthema, and urticaria have been reported!. Vitamin B-12 (20 micrograms/day) and pyridoxine (80mg/day) has been associated with cases of rosacea fulminans, characterized by intense erythema with nodules, papules, and pustules!. Symptoms may persist for up to 4 months after the supplement is stopped, and may require treatment with systemic corticosteroids and topical therapy!.
Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea has been reported!.
Hematologic: Peripheral vascular thrombosis has been reported!. Treatment of vitamin B-12 deficiency can unmask polycythemia vera, which is characterized by an increase in blood volume and the number of red blood cells!. The correction of megaloblastic anemia with vitamin B-12 can result in fatal hypokalemia and gout in susceptible individuals, and it can obscure folate deficiency in megaloblastic anemia!. Caution is warranted!.
Leber's disease: Vitamin B-12 in the form of cyanocobalamin is contraindicated in early Leber's disease, which is hereditary optic nerve atrophy!. Cyanocobalamin can cause severe and swift optic atrophy, but other forms of vitamin B-12 are available!.[citation needed] However, the sources of this statement are not clear, while an opposing view[43] concludes: "The clinical picture of optic neuropathy associated with vitamin B-12 deficiency shows similarity to that of Leber's disease optic neuropathy!. Both involve the nerve fibres of the papillomacular bundle!. The present case reports suggest that optic neuropathy in patients carrying a primary LHON mtDNA mutation may be precipitated by vitamin B-12 deficiency!. Therefore, known carriers should take care to have an adequate dietary intake of vitamin B-12 and malabsorption syndromes like those occurring in familial pernicious anaemia or after gastric surgery should be excluded!."

No, too much Vitamin B12 is excreted in the urine!. I hope your taking Folic Acid with the B12!. Increased vitamin B12 levels are uncommon!. Usually excess vitamin B12 is removed in the urine!. But disorders that affect the levels of vitamin B12 in the blood can lead to too much vitamin B12!. These disorders include:

* Liver disease (such as cirrhosis or hepatitis)
* Myeloproliferative disorders (for example, myelocytic leukemia)

Other conditions under which the test may be done:

* Delirium
* Dementia
* Dementia due to metabolic causes

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is a stored vitamin!. The Dietary Reference Intake for an adult ranges from 2 to 3 μg (micrograms) per day!.

Should you exceed that amount long-term you could develop itching, rash, transitory exanthema, urticaria and even diarrhea!. NO!.!.!. you won't turn blue!.!.!. sorry!. And Vit B12 is not water soluable!.!.!. so doesn't "wash out"!.!.!. those would be vitamins A, D, E and K only!.

Just keep your intake to the recommended levels and you will be fine!.
