Idiom: Mad as a hatter - In the past, Mercury was used in the making of hats. This was known to have affected the nervous systems of hatters, causing them to tremble and appear insane. Lewis Carroll's 'Hatter' character from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, 1865, is of course the best-known mad hatter of them all.
