What is scurvy ne demek?

Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C in the body. Symptoms include weakness, fatigue, anemia, swollen and bleeding gums, and easy bruising. It was particularly common among sailors during the Age of Exploration when they did not have access to fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamin C. Scurvy can also occur in people who have limited access to fresh produce or who have medical conditions that limit their absorption of vitamin C. It is easily treatable by consuming foods high in vitamin C or taking supplements.
