Women, children, and people with weakened immune systems are most likely to develop this condition. Now, researchers are sounding the alarm after a middle-aged man had to go to the hospital for the condition after first visiting his family doctor.

The patient complained of recent vomiting, nausea, chest pain, leg cramps, ringing in his ears, a dry mouth, thirst, diarrhea, and weight loss. His symptoms had been going on for three months and began one month after he started seeing a nutritional therapist who reportedly gave him large amounts of vitamin supplements.

The patient took 80 times the recommended dose of vitamin D. The man had health issues including tuberculosis, an inner ear tumor which left him deaf in one ear, a buildup of fluid in the brain, bacterial meningitis, and chronic sinusitis.
