YOU NEED TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION! the effects of an echinacea overdose are unknown. just because it is herbal does not change the fact that it is still a medication and an overdose has to be treated very seriously. GO TO THE HOSPITAL!

The side effects are fever, nausea and vomiting. If you took too much for your body to handle you will most likely vomit it up. You could call poison control or go to the hospital, especially if running a fever. They will probably tell you to induce vomiting via 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1 tsp for every 10 lbs of body weight in lukewarm water.

Call the Poison Control Center Now: 1-800-222-1222 (If in USA)

I was young once, too, but fortunately I lived through it — call for help.
