This expression, dating from the early 1800s, alludes to exposure to the chemicals formerly used in making felt hats, which caused tremors and other nervous symptoms. The variant, dating from the 14th century, alludes to the crazy behavior of hares during rutting season, mistakenly thought to be only in March.

A hatter in 19th century England was a professional who made and fixed hats, and hatters used a glue which over time caused them to act crazy (mad). A person who acts as if they are crazy (mad) is "mad as a hatter." Example: "Wow- did you see that guy on the corner?" Answer: "Yeah, he was as mad as a hatter." Lewis Carroll, in his popular children's book Alice In Wonderland, used the image of "mad as a hatter" to create the character that he called The Mad Hatter. Example: "Everybody in my family knew that our uncle was as mad as a hatter."
