In the 15th century, European adventurers crossed the ocean by sailboats in pursuit of spices and gold to compete for colonies. However, during the voyage, sailors are often attacked by scurvy like a plague, and thousands of lives are lost.
In 1593, more than 1, sailors died of scurvy in Britain, and four fifths of sailors in Spain, Portugal and other countries died of scurvy. Before and after these events, another miracle happened.
In 153, some French explorers spent the winter in Canada. Among them, 11 people suffered from scurvy. The local Indians told them to drink water soaked in pine leaves. In desperation, the patients were saved by drinking this water. From 1772 to 1775, when the British captain Cook led the ship on the second voyage, during the expedition across the Pacific Ocean, only one of the 118 crew members died for three years. Originally, Captain Cook ordered the crew to eat kimchi frequently, which saved the crew from scurvy.
The research on the treatment of scurvy first began with the British doctor Linde. In the mid-18th century, he tried fresh vegetables, fruits and medicines to conduct medical experiments on sailors suffering from scurvy. On one occasion, when he was treating the scurvy of the sailors on the British "Ship Sea Five", he selected some sailors and divided them into six groups, and treated them with different methods, such as different food, medicine and physical therapy.
Unexpectedly, the patients who took the medicine didn't get better. On the contrary, the patients who ate lemon got rid of the disease like taking the "elixir" and recovered quickly. After more than 4 years, the British navy adopted this method, stipulating that every sailor should drink a certain amount of lemon leaf water every day when he enters the sea.
only two years later, scurvy disappeared in the British navy. Therefore, the British often use the interesting nickname "Lemon Man" to call it.
