∙ 13y agoOn Jacques Cartier's second trip across the ocean, his crew fell ill with a sickness whose symptoms were similar to that of scurvy.
According to "J. Cartier witnesses a treatment for scurvy, Vesalius, VIII, 1,2-6, 2002":
Jacques Cartier left Saint-Malo in 1535 to cross the Atlantic Ocean for the second time. While spending the winter ashore, when his ships were trapped in the ice, he encountered the disease, which, surprisingly seems to have also affected the indigenous population.
Scurvy isn't contagious and shouldn't have been able to "spread" from Jacques and his crew to the natives. Either the disease was not scurvy and was essentially given to the people or the people there had a similar, preexisting condition.
