Christopher Columbus likely contracted scurvy during his voyages due to a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in his diet. Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis and overall health. During long sea voyages, sailors often faced limited access to fresh food, leading to nutritional deficiencies. Columbus's expeditions, which lasted for months, would have put his crew at risk for this disease, especially when they were away from land for extended periods.
