| You know, I hadn't thought about that. Normally, I'm more the type to worry about developing a bad case of shingles on my face and such. Now that you mention it, though, I have noticed that my gums are a bit spongy. |

Scurvy is a deficiency of some vitamin or other. Sailors used to get it all the time and their teeth fell out making it impossible to eat their shoes when the food gave out altogether.
It's why the Brits started giving limes to their sailors, hence Limeys. |
