About Those Pirates Off Somali- Do they Have Radiation Sickness?

Well this is possibily disturbing!! I some times talk about the problem of modern day pirates on here. Yes Piracy is real and it is more than just a fun ride at Disney World. When people ask why we need a global navy I often point out this problem and increasing at that of Piracy.

SO I have been following the stand off with some interest. We learn from a news source:

Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill "within days" of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died...

I am afraid one does not get skin burns from some form of scurvy. What the hell is on it!!!
