To be fair the word Scurvy is satisfying to say, and honestly sounds like a compliment. Like "Damn queen, you're looking scurvy af!" could absolutely pass as gen z slang. :trollga:  Also thank you for the reminder that I should really go eat an orange. :heart:

In italian it sounds so bad because it's "Scorbuto" and we use "scorbutico" to indicate a grumpy person lol

Apparently in really severe cases of scurvy your collagen starts to break down, and because scar tissue is made of  collagen years old wounds can open up again :bear:   

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Our gums are black, our teeth are falling out

We've got spots on our backs

So give it up and shout

We got scurvy we need some Vitamin C

We got scurvy, we need a lemon tree

We got scurvy, we just chillin' on the sea

Let's get this scurvy started

A pirate ain't worthy 'til he's got some scurvy

Since you've got your scurvy on

You are nervy when you sing that song

Scurvy (scurvy)

We got scurvy (scurvy)

It's not making a comeback, scurvy still happens albeit far less than it did before. Mostly happens after some surgeries (especially bariatric ones) that cause malabsorption, and sadly, in parts of the world with less access to fresh fruit and vegetables.

It is a sad, cruel and disgusting capitalistic world. 

The study only mentions that one patient though, it didn't analyze any trends in cases. They say that most of scurvy patients are patients following bariatric surgeries

They probably went with scurvy cause they couldn't choose between Disease and Seaside
