Hello,

This is my first thread. I am interested in scurvy.

Due to your sailing experience have you had scurvy? How do think about it? Was it bad for you? And how did you deal with it?

People may think it is cool when Jack 'Johnny Depp' Sparrow has scurvy. But you?

Untreated scurvy is invariably fatal. Since all that is required for a full recovery is the resumption of normal vitamin C intake, death from scurvy is rare in modern times.

Scurvy is one of the accompanying diseases of malnutrition (other such micronutrient deficiencies are beriberi or pellagra) and thus is still widespread in areas of the world depending on external food aid. Though rare, there are also documented cases of scurvy due to poor dietary choices by people living in industrialized nations.

Hope that helps :))
