I think I might have scurvy.

This sucks.

Get a forty and some orange juice, and cure yourself the brass monkey way.

This is oddly unsurprising. And listen to Johnnie, vitamins are totally worthless unless introduced to the body in a solution of 5% or more ABV.

It doesn't take a whole lot of vitamin c to keep from getting scurvy. If you occasionally drink fruit juice, eat fruits/vegetables, or eat sugar cereal, you probably don't have scurvy. If you haven't eaten any of those things in a few weeks, you should probably do that now. Or buy some candy with vitamin c in it. It goes away pretty fast once you start eating vitamin c again.

hmmm, unlikely illness hypochondriac society? let's post awareness fliers for scurvy, lockjaw, tertiary syphilis, etc.

i was terrified of getting lockjaw when i was little.

me too. but I also stepped on rusty nails, climbed old docks, played with sharp metal things I found on the ground near dog shit, &c. So I guess the terror was legitimate and I was stupid.
