Geoff - I think I recall that this may be a sign of liver problems.
I would suggest you get yourself checked.  But if it is the carrots,
3 weeks is probably far too short a time to get the beta carotene
out of your system.  I don't really agree with Norman Walker's
explanation anyhow, as it has been my own experience that lots of
carrot juice will turn my fat orange, especially where it is visible
in such places as the palms of the hands.  This can get kind of
scary, because I keep looking over my shoulder waiting for Frank
Perdue to put me in a display case alongside his marigold-fed oven
roasters.  Geoff, is it just the whites of your eyes which are
yellow, not your palms, soles of your feet, etc.?  If this is the
case, I suspect liver problems.
