We all know the Mad Hatter from Lewis Caroll’s Alice in Wonderland, but it is surprisingly not Caroll who coined the phrase “mad as a hatter.” In fact, the saying originated in 17th-century France, where hat makers would use mercury for the hat felt, often falling victim to the visible effects of the poison.
Mad Hatter Disease was marked by psychotic reactions, such as hallucinations, irritability, shyness, and insomnia, as well as physical effects, including tremors that start in the hands and eventually cause muscular spasms throughout the body.
