Symptom #10: Bleeding Gums

Scurvy quite literally causes our bodies to begin falling apart at the cellular level. This causes a range of unpleasant symptoms and can even lead to death if left untreated. As you could imagine, some of the symptoms are really quite unpleasant and likely to catch your attention.

One common symptom and something that is quite synonymous with scurvy is bleeding gums. As the cells begin to fall apart from each other, so blood begins to seep out. They can also become quite swollen and painful. It’s a symptom that arises quite early and is a clear sign that you should seek help.
