Scurvy, a condition caused by severe vitamin C deficiency, is still present in today's society. A recent case study in Australia highlights the impact of the cost of living crisis on nutrition and the rise of weight loss surgeries as potential drivers of scurvy cases. Symptoms include general weakness, anemia, gum disease, poor wound healing, and skin hemorrhages. The condition is easily treatable with vitamin C supplements and a balanced diet.
