Minamata, Japan was the site of one of the worst Mercury pollution disasters in history. The Chisso Corporation's chemical factory dumped their methylmercury wastewater into the Minamata Bay. The mercury, through the process of bioaccumulation, ended up in the top fish species, which the Minamata population ate for food. This resulted in thousands suffering from acute mercury poisoning. While many went through neurological breakdown, for years, neither the government nor the company did anything about it. Reparations and cleanup are still an ongoing process, several decades later.

Mercury is the pollutant responsible for causing Minamata Disease when consumed in contaminated fish. Mercury bioaccumulates in fish, especially in large predatory species, through the food chain. When humans consume fish contaminated with mercury, it can lead to neurological and developmental disorders.

Minamata disease was not named for the Mad Hatter. It was referred to as "Mad hatter disease" in a several Japanese government reports. Both conditions are a result of mercury poisoning; however, the method of poisoning is different. Minamata disease is actually named for a city in the Kumamoto region of Japan. In 1956, it was discovered that a Chisso Corporation chemical factory had been dumping polluted wastewater since 1932. The local population had unknowingly consumed massive quantities of mercury through fish and shellfish. Mad hatter disease (and the phrase "mad as a hatter") occurs after inhaling the poisonous mercury fumes created by the process of curing animal skins.
The disease is characterized by peripheral sensory loss, tremors, dysarthria, ataxia, and both hearing and visual loss.
