Yes certain levels can become toxic. However, the levels of toxicity are specific for each vitamin. Do a little research on each vitamin/mineral and double check to see if you actually are ingesting toxic amounts.

kill your lover??
remember that you all are just talking about vitamins here
some pills contain 500 mg others a 1000 mg
1 - 2 pills a day should do no harm even with the vitamins you get from food and other supp.
I take 4 pills a day and have no prob.

Some vitamins and minerals that are bodies need can build up over just a short time and become toxic. Here's a link that tells overall basic info on vitamins.

Just click on the individual vitamins to find out more about them. You should also check out Arnold's "Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding". There's a great chapter in that book that will answer your questions.
