What is "scurvy"?

Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, which is essential for producing collagen and overall health. Historically, it was common among sailors and explorers on long sea trips who lacked access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Symptoms of scurvy include weakness, fatigue, swollen and bleeding gums, joint pain, and easy bruising. Without treatment, scurvy can lead to severe complications, such as anemia, gum disease, and slow wound healing. Treatment involves increasing vitamin C intake through diet or supplements.
