Scurvy

I’ve never had the disease and probably never will. To be honest, I don’t know much about it beyond the fact that it’s caused by a vitamin C deficiency. I also think that, because of it’s playful-sounding name, if it were to occur in me, I would eventually overcome it and the story of how I came to be afflicted by it would be a humorous one. The name also brings to mind surly and disgruntled pirates. Therefore, because I’m safe as long as I continue to regularly eat fruits and vegetables, and because the sound of the disease’s name and the image it conjures is enjoyable, I give Scurvy 4 out of 5 stars.
