Scurvy (Encore)

Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography & More

When Europeans began sailing the high seas on extended voyages, the most deadly thing they encountered wasn’t enemy navies, starvation, or even shipwrecks. 

It was a painful disease where your body would literally start falling apart, and it killed more than 2,000,000 sailors between the voyage of Columbus to the middle of the 19th century. 

Learn more about scurvy and how it was eventually conquered on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
