In the eighteenth and ninrteenth centuries felt hats were cured using Mercury. Mercury is extremely toxic and poisoning by this substance causes symptoms similar to 'madness'. Many hatters of the time were made ill or even killed as a result of mercury poisoning.
Not too many years ago, hatters used mercury. Mercury is toxic and causes symptoms which appear similar to 'madness'. Unfortunately, that is why so many of them seemed to go crazy prior to their deaths. Hence the phrase "as mad as a hatter".
in the 1800's nearly Everyone would wear a top hat. the hatter would always make his hats by hand. The process of making a hats involves some chemicals and one of those chemicals would be mercury. Hatters would take hours inside a closed area with no fresh air and the mercury would make them go crazy or mad. Hatters would mostly always known to be a little crazy or insane and that is where the cliche was formed.
Only the Mad Hatter is a hatter. The name "The Mad Hatters Tea Party" might suggest that there is more than one hatter there, but if you put the apostrophe in the correct place it becomes "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party", which means, "the tea party belonging to the Mad Hatter".

Hat makers were called mad hatters due to the symptoms of mercury poisoning they often experienced from working with mercury nitrate, a common ingredient in the hat-making process. These symptoms included tremors, mood swings, and hallucinations, leading to the misconception that hat makers were "mad."
