| rdfs:comment | - Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C. Scurvy leads to the formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from the mucous membranes. The spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. In advanced scurvy there are open, suppurating wounds and loss of teeth.
- Scurvy is a common disease in Stormalong Harbor. The disease is caused by the lack of citric acids, common to oranges, which affects the mouth. It's mostly given to adventurers and sailors, and it mostly damages the gums. In Cammie Island, a crew member had his teeth fallen down by the disease.
- Scurvy is a disease of the connective tissues caused by the lack of vitamin C in the diet. Once common among those on long sea voyages or in isolated areas, it is virtually unknown today. However, it does occur in people whose diets are deliberately deficient in the vitamin, such as those that avoid citrus fruits because of their acidic content, or those on macrobiotic diets. Once recognized, scurvy is easily treatable by replacing vitamin C. Symptoms usually disappear within minutes and the patient can be discharged within hours.

- Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C, which is required for the synthesis of collagen in humans. The cure for scurvy is to eat all your vegetables like you mom told you to (see she wasn't so stupid after all). Scurvy often presents itself initially as lethargy, followed by formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from the mucous membranes. A person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. Symptoms of scurvy are similar to symptoms presented in teenagers addicted to video games and social media with the only difference being that the teenagers are fully immobilized.

- Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C, which is required for the synthesis of collagen in humans. The cure for scurvy is to eat all your vegetables like you mom told you to (see she wasn't so stupid after all). Scurvy often presents itself initially as lethargy, followed by formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from the mucous membranes. A person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. Symptoms of scurvy are similar to symptoms presented in teenagers addicted to video games and social media with the only difference being that the teenagers are fully immobilized. Scurvy was at one time common among sailors, pirates and others aboard ships at sea longer than perishable fruits and vegetables could be stored (subsisting instead only on cured and salted meats and dried grains) and by soldiers similarly deprived of these foods for extended periods. It was described by Hippocrates and early Egyptians, and scholars claim that herbal cures for scurvy have been known in many native cultures since prehistory. However, since it was prehistory, there are no records about it, so one wonders how the scholars could possibly know anything of the sort. While today scurvy is known to be caused by a nutritional deficiency, until the isolation of vitamin C and direct evidence of its link to scurvy in 1932, numerous theories and treatments were proposed, often on little or no experimental data. For example, a 1707 handwritten book by Mrs. Ebot Mitchell, that was discovered in a house in Hasfield, Gloucestershir, contains a "Recp.t for the Scurvy" that consists of extracts from various plants mixed with a plentiful supply of orange juice, white wine or beer. Unfortunately, the sailors usually opted to just drink the beer which rather limited the usefulness of the recipe. Scurvy does not occur in most animals because they can synthesize their own vitamin C. However, humans and other higher primates lack an enzyme (L-gulonolactone oxidase) necessary for such synthesis and must obtain vitamin C through their diet, which makes one wonder about the term "higher primate".
