Excessive bleeding is not associated with vitamin C excess but is related to vitamin K deficiency.

Eating partially cook pork products is associated with trichinosis (roundworm infestation).
Allowing a dog to lick the face and ingesting undercooked fish are not associated with hook-worm infestation.
