I read that the main way to get vitamin D toxicity is to have too
little vitamin A along with it.  You can do this to yourself by
overexposure to the sun -- your body poisins itself by making too
much vitamin D.  The treatment is to administer vitamin A.

You will probably find that all vitamin D supplements include vitamin A
for this reason.
