My brother was staying in a 5 star hotel in CA. He caught scabies. He bought an RV so he doesn't have to stay in hotels anymore when he travels. Scabies and bed bugs are rampant.

Maybe I'm wrong then. Maybe it's not scabies I'm thinking of. It's the condition when you have a lack of vitamin C. What the sailors used to get, which is why they called them "limies". Cuz they would eat limes to prevent that condition, whatever its called...

Shingles maybe???

Obviously I'm no doctor, lol! I just read a lot.

It's a myth that vitamin C cures scurvy.

Scurvy is caused by lack of amino acids in meat. Meat cures scurvy, and that's what the sailors eventually figured out.

Scurvy. That makes more sense! Yes, Vit C is absolutely amazing stuff though I find that ascorbic acid is not as good as Sodium ascorbate which is milder on the stomach.
