No, scurvy is caused by a Vitamin C deficiency. Lyme disease is from a tick bite.
No, it isn't. Scurvy is the result of a dietary deficiency in vitamin C; Lyme disease is not related to limes, but is named after a city (I think) called Lyme and is caused by a type of bacteria, often transmitted by ticks.
Haha if this is a joke, then no-one else has spotted it!! lol
Hmmm eating too many limes or none at all which could give you scurvy...or something like that lol :-P
ha ha ha, Ken.
And I have friends who've said,
"So, what was it like... did you turn GREEN?"
S-Q-U-I-R-T!!
"Whoops..sorry to get that lime in your face, Kenny."
