2 years, 7 months ago about Scurvy

How long without Vitamin C can a human go before the first symptoms of scurvy? What are the first symptoms?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

From web md symptoms include ....
" weakness, swollen joints, muscle hardness, gum problems, tooth loss, and slow healing of wounds. "

Typical length of time for symptoms to start showing is in the 20-40 day range (from various web sources).

It varies, but seems to be a few weeks to several months. Alessandro Malaspina, 1789–1794, describes a case occurring on a 56 day voyage.
