minimata

Diseases caused such as the infamous Minimata disease which took place at the southwestern side of Tokyo bay (in Minimata). This disease made cats, fish and humans suffer. This has occurred due to dumping mercury in the bay which contaminated the under-water living organisms.

You are found guilty for this impetuous act!

If mercury is released into the ocean the fishes and other aquatic animals misundestanding it as food and when they eat it they die as mercury is highly poisonous.When eat these fishes we in turn eat the mercuryn which is harmful to the body.This is what happened in Japan a few years ago and the disease is called the Minimata disease.

Not until the mid-1950's (in Japan) did people begin to notice a "strange disease". Victims were diagnosed as having a degeneration of their nervous systems. Numbness occurred in their limbs and lips. Their
speech became slurred, and their vision constricted. Some people had serious brain damage, while others lapsed into unconsciousness or suffered from involuntary movements. Furthermore, some victims were thought to be crazy when they began to uncontrollably shout.

People thought the cats were going insane when they witnessed "suicides" by the cats. Finally, birds were strangely dropping from the sky. in July 1959, researchers from Kumamoto University
concluded that organic mercury (in fish) was the cause of the "Minamata Disease".
