There’s another health risk on the rise……….. scurvy!
Seriously, there’s been an increase of yellow skinned scurvy victims in the US and Canada. This is kind of weird considered that fruit is literally falling off of random trees across the country. My neighbors behind my house have 5 fruit trees. I’ve never seen them pick the fruit. I have seen squirrels grab a pear or an apple, take one bite, and then throw the rest on my lawn.
That aside, eat fruit. That’s all you have to do. Eat some fruit with vitamin C in it. Or, down a couple Flintstone Vitamins every day or even every couple of days. Otherwise, it’s bruised, splotchy, yellow skin for you. Also, tooth loss and the urge to walk around saying, “Argggg!” to everyone. All of that just like people who smoke a lot of meth. Other symptoms include blotches on the skin and the white of your eyes turning red.
I saw limes 3 for a buck the other day. Half a lime a day will keep the scurvy away. That’s what British sailors were rationed for a while back in the good ol’ 1700s; half a lime. Then they figured out that you could keep lime juice in a bottle for long periods of time and did that. That’s why they’re called “limeys”.
