Well done, @Tri - I was just about to put that link up myself!!
The toxicity of excess amounts of Vit B6 can lead to permanent nerve damage, starting off with tingling in the feet & legs, then numbness .... even being permanently crippled and possibly death (not sure if that would be from the toxicity or from a fall ....)
I was always told that the 'water soluble' vitamins (Vits B & C in particular) were excreted in your urine if it was taken in too large a dose! That's now been proven
WRONG!!
But You DO still have to be careful of the 'fat soluble' ones tho (A,D,E & K) as they ARE stored in the body if taken to excess!
Here's Another ABC report here - where Doctors have even become affected by it, not realising the toxic nature of it! ....

Everyone should check the fine print of
any Vit B6 & multi vitamin supplements (it is even in diet 'shakes' and magnesium tablets.) As most people have accidentally taken the overdose - as Vit B6 is in SO MANY of the different supplements!
Also there's been 2 discussions about it on ABC's 7.30 Report here:
