Eat citrus or vitamin C. Scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency disease. British sailors earned the nickname "limeys" because they were given a lime a day to prevent scurvy.

pirates got scurvy because they were at sea for long periods without any fruit (this is the main source of vitamin c)
Now there are vitamin pills.

Usually wearing your penis patch helps.
Not bathing also helps, keeps all kind of people away from you and decreases your chance of catching something.
