Water soluble vitamins like vitamin C and many of the vitamin B's are excreted by the body if you ingest too much, so they will not do any harm.

A few vitamins that can do harm are:

Vitamin D: Can cause calcium buildups in muscles (like reoccurring Charlie horse's can) which damage and impair the function.

Iron: Iron is a tricky one. Too much normally interferes with zinc intake, which creates a deficiency. However when you are sick, one way your body tries to fight the invading bacteria is by lowering iron levels in the blood. Eating iron-rich foods supplies the blood cells with more iron, which the bacteria leech off of.

Yes. Just like every vitamin you can have too much. ore than the upper limit. High doses of vitamin A -- and other fat-soluble vitamins like E and K -- can build up in the body and cause toxicity.
