Okay growing up all my mother fed us (my siblings and I) was weet-bix and milk microwaved for breakfast; no lunch OR we'd get something at school (either from the canteen or a friend) and then sausages, potatoes and canned peas for dinner.
VERY occasionally she'd buy fruit for snacks but we'd eat them all in one day.
My diet is ridiculously healthy now (still not the best but getting there).
Is it possible I had scurvy growing up?

BTW I'm asking because my sister lives at home and complained about some symptoms I googled them (whilst remembering having them when I was younger) came up with scurvy, got her on 1000 mg of vitamin C a day and it went away within a week (her gums were all bleeding and off as well as her skin being really scaly).

What do you reckon?

THANKS!

Sure you can have scurvy. Exspecially if your a Pirate! All it is , is not having enough of the C stuff you know. SO could happen. but if your a pirate it could happen even more…..I hate you.
