Scurvy, a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, largely disappeared with the recognition of the importance of this nutrient in the 18th century. The addition of citrus fruits, such as lemons and limes, to sailors' diets significantly reduced the incidence of scurvy during long sea voyages. Improved nutrition, dietary supplements, and better food preservation methods have further eradicated scurvy in most developed countries. Today, scurvy is rare and typically only occurs in individuals with severe dietary restrictions.
