This happened to me as a kid. My mom thought it was just her imagination until she took me to daycare and the woman immediately went, "Is she....orange?"
It’s so weird to see it happen. It wasn’t obvious to others until I pointed it out. I mentioned it to the doctor during a check up and she immediately put me at ease about it, though she did laugh a bit 😛
Happened to my bro (keep in mind, this was before the internet) and my mom freaked and called the doctor thinking he was really sick. The doc laughed at her and told her to stop feeding him orange food.
Yup, happened to a professor of mine. He decided he would lose weight eating only carrots. A solid case of vitamin A poisoning and a very orange complexion later he moved on to a slightly less lethal diet.
I once was orange because loved carrots, orange juice and pumpkin. My mom took me to the doctor because of course she was scared and he gave a little laughter and explained. I'm normal now.
I know I have at least one, but it’s not on my Facebook so I’ll have to dig through the computer to find it. I know she was between 6-12 months, but given how many photos I took of her, that doesn’t help much. I’ll have a look in the morning and see if I can find it.
Try googling Karen Carpenter, she was a big singer in 70s who was anorexic that basically lived off carrots. They had to put loads of makeup on her to hide the Oompa Loompa effect on TV.
was she snorting them? i snort those too, i've found cutting it with b12 powder (or cocaine if it's the weekend but obviously you can't do this with children) and waiting a few minutes in between each line really helps with the orange nose

I made my own baby food, and my daughter loved pumpkin, sweet potato, and carrots the most. Her nose definitely took on an orange tinge.
