D’oh!
A Pennsylvania mom claims a store-bought herbal remedy for menopause symptoms turned her skin so yellow, she wound up looking like Marge Simpson.
Amber Heimbach, 39, visited her doctor last October, complaining of a number of issues, ranging from mood swings to heavy bleeding.
The Harrisburg resident was offered prescription medication, but opted to try a natural remedy instead.
“I’m a pretty healthy person so didn’t feel ready to do that or go on any medication,” Heimbach told Kennedy News.
“I wanted to go down the healthier route and see if there were any vitamins or supplements I could take to ease some of my side-effects.”
The mom-of-four took to the internet to do some research, reading about the supposed benefits of black cohosh, a plant promoted as a dietary supplement for hot flashes and other menopause symptoms.

She subsequently purchased black cohosh pills over the counter at a drug store.
