[cancercured] Interesting historical trivia fact about mercury

I copied this from the website http://www.corsinet.com
A very interesting website. You can search for any trivia fact you may
want there.

"More than 100 years ago, the felt hat makers of England used mercury to
stabilize wool. Most of them eventually became poisoned by the fumes, as
demonstrated by the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
Breathing mercury's fumes over a long period of time will cause
erethism, a disorder characterized by nervousness, irritability, and
strange personality changes."
