"Well, I think it's a little too late for this one," Aisha explained somberly, although the sudden interest had been surprising, "But, it's not an infectious disease, so, we wouldn't have to worry about that. It's merely caused by a dietary deficiency, specifically in Vitamin C. I don't know if you understand what that is, but, all it takes is reintroducing it into your diet to fix. Kale, buckthorn, rose hips, parsley, all those things have plenty of that if you need it, but the best cure is probably citrus fruit, if that's available. If you're desperate, there's accounts of raw meats and liver having sufficient nutrients. I've only seen it among travelers and impoverished children, but, it's treatable within two weeks." Aisha cleared her throat before mentioning, "I'm well taught in medicine, most travelling acolytes are, but I in particular have had over two years of personal tutelage." She bowed her head slightly.
