AnneWimsey comments on Apr 9, 2020:

You get plenty of zinc from everyday foods like yogurt, nuts & seeds, etc. High dosages, like "too much" of anything, can leach other important minerals, like copper, from your system. And yes certain conditions can mandate very high doses by prescription & closely monitored by the prescribing doctor for several reasons including the above about leaching.

The Captain of any Navy vessel, which is staffed with predominantly young men, in some ways is a father figure. Captain Crozier was rightly upset that his crew were becoming ill at an alarming rate, and sought help, as was his duty. He has been shamefully treated! This idiot who went on the ship and called him stupid was roundly boo'ed by the crew, and is lucky that is all that happened to him. This whole thing is the result of crummy "leadership" from the top down!
