Scurvy is a really serious disease that doesn't really effect a lot of people. However if you ever get scurvy there are few ways for it to be treated; you need to have vitamin C provided to you, either orally or via an injection. Orange Juice is also an effective remedy, but also specific vitamin supplements are also effective.
