👉 Scurfer, also known as a scurvy bug, is a type of bacterial infection characterized by bleeding gums and pain. It's caused by bacteria that are found in certain types of seaweed, including kelp, which can be contaminated with pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio vulnificus. The symptoms of scurfer typically include bleeding gums, pain, and swelling around the teeth. The bacteria causing the infection is often harmless to humans but can cause serious complications if left untreated
