Tl;dw: hat makers in 19th century used to cure the pelt for hats with mercury based substance, and the long exposure made hat makers sick from poisoning and experience hallucinations. --- http://i.imgtc.com/iJyp6bF.png http://i.imgtc.com/ZBw36Qh.png Thanks for the peeps that made the pics <3 if i make typos it means i am on phone ...

Yep, a lot of terms for craziness/insanity have literal origins, such as batshit (an hallucinatory illness that can be triggered by overexposure to certain types of bat droppings, it was often experienced by roofers on old buildings like churches) and lunatic (lunar, because people used to believe the moon cycle affected mental illness).
