Mad as a Hatter

Yes, Pekas has released its new set of outfits. I'm wearing one of them --- Urban Insanity --- and interestingly enough, the Mad Hatter is the picture shown at the back. Here's a random bit of trivia: The term Mad Hatter was coined because hatters during the 1800s would use mercury in making felt for hats, and well, they would commonly suffer mercury poisoning. Neurological effects include fine tremors, lack of concentration, learning disorders, memory loss (short and long term), numbness, and slurred speech, while on the Psychological aspect, aggressiveness, anger (fits of), anxiety, confusion, depression, fear and nervousness, hallucinations, lethargy, manic depression, mood swings, and shyness.  (Sources: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/mercury_poisoning/article_em.htm and http://www.mercuryfreenow.com/layperson/symptoms.html)
