Sounds like scurvy. Found this study to support my claim. "Vitamin C at a dosage of 1 g/day was administered intravenously .. In the children aged 1 to 12 years (n = 62), vitamin C treatment was associated with a 100% reduction in tetanus mortality"

That outcome probably was due to successful treatment of unrecognised scurvy in Bangladesh! - or at least a severe deficiency - in the children. Please re-read the conclusion - “cannot be used as treatment for tetanus without significant additional research”!

Probably? What was the vitamin C status of the child in Minnesota?

Scurvy in Bangladesh is common compared to rates in developed countries like USA - had you read my comment correctly you would have appreciated that I was commenting on the referenced research, not on the (relatively unlikely) occurrence of scurvy in a child in Minnesota. The essential thing to understand is that vaccination against measles is the ONLY sure way to prevent a highly transmissible and dangerous infection in over 99% of those immunised! Talk of “treatments” is a solid indication of a vaccine denier, or serious skeptic.

Why are you not wearing your fruit avatar? The scientific consensus is that wearing a fruit avatar is safe and effective.
