Good one!

I got this one right.

I figured scurvy. Not too much fresh fruit at the time.

Got it right

[VeritatisSplendor]

Scurvy = loose teeth, depression, weakness, old wounds opening, cured by green food and fresh meat

Seizures = electrolyte imbalance

You know, you'd think a school server would let this one pass, but it won't. I can't open the page. DANG IT. Can somebody just post the question and the answer options?

[Cailleach]

YAY me! I got it correct! :) That was fun. Can’t wait for tomorrow and a new question!
