10 Symptoms of Scurvy
Symptom #6: Irritability
Each one of us can become a little irritable from time to time. It may be due to lack of food or sleep, or maybe the people around us are just being too annoying. Such irritability is usually only temporary, though, but some illnesses can make us irritable on a more permanent basis.
One common symptom of scurvy is high irritability. It can make the patient difficult to be around and can also make the patient wish that they were alone. When working with scurvy patients it can be important to bear in mind that their irritability is not their fault and is caused by their illness.
