Scurvy symptoms are generally connective-tissue abnormalities. Industrial societies let fresh foods travel farther, but you can live in a food-desert neighborhood, or household where fresh foods just aren't available. And there are other consumption patterns, conditions meds, or etc. getting in the way of C absorption. #EDS #scurvy #nutrition #health #disabiltiy
