Brits are being warned to protect themselves and spot the signs of Victorian diseases as cases surge across the UK. Experts say a cost of living crisis hitting the UK as the country emerges from years under a Covid pandemic could be causing a rise in cases of scurvy and rickets.
Data from NHS Digital showed that 'Victorian diseases' were responsible for almost 10,000 hospitalisations that year. And now, some of those illnesses - that many believed dwelled only in the history books - are surging.
Official cases of malnutrition have also surged as experts say people struggle to find the right number and balance of proper nutrients to stay healthy. It comes amid warnings of the need to help look after the poor and needy to stop the spread of conditions believed to be consigned to the history books.
