Scurvy
The causes of the disease
Scurvy in a condition-specific to the deficiency of ascorbic acid. The lack of vitamin C destabilises the structure of collagen and affects the integrity of the tissues. This means their body tissues start to break down.

How to prevent it
Many years ago, sailors would die when taking long trips. This was until someone discovered the cure that protected sailors from scurvy disease... in citrus fruits and lemons. This was first documented in 1617 by English military surgeon John Woodall in The Surgeon’s Mate... and then published in 1753 by naval surgeon James Lind in A Treatise of Scurvy. The cure for scurvy existed for almost 200 years... before the medical profession finally caught on. In the early 1800s, the medical profession finally accepted the cure for scurvy. An unknown substance in citrus fruits which prevented people to die from scurvy. In the early 1900's, chemists found trace substances in food that were vital to health. These were later given the name Vitamins and Vitamin C was identified as the anti-scurvy substance in citrus fruits. (Asimov, 1972)
