About Stop Scurvy
Founded after a volunteer accidentally spent three consecutive days eating only gas station hot dogs.
Our Mission
To ensure that humanity never again returns to the dark ages of pirate dentistry, suspiciously loose teeth, and the tragic misunderstanding that ketchup counts as a vegetable.
- Access to lemons.
- Responsible orange ownership.
- Maritime nutritional education.
- The constitutional right to enjoy a glass of orange juice without judgment.

A Note From Our Founder
"Scurvy is, by every reasonable measure, a solved problem. Vitamin C is cheap, shelf-stable, and available in most gas stations. And yet, every year, a non-zero number of people in developed countries are diagnosed with it."
"This site exists because that fact is, frankly, very funny, and also slightly unsettling. We are not asking you to fear scurvy. We are asking you to remember it exists."
Eat a lemon occasionally. That is the whole pitch.
