Overconsumption of pumpkin seeds may cause a series of adverse reactions, including dizziness, headache, and nausea. Pumpkin seeds are high in calories, fat, and protein; excessive intake can increase internal heat in the body, predisposing individuals to obesity and placing additional strain on the liver—potentially resulting in symptoms such as bitter taste in the mouth, swollen and painful gums, sore throat, and constipation.
