Actually, a tragically large number of people have died of mercury poisoning in the 20th century.
When I was in high school, we saw a play by a travelling group of educational dramatists. The topic of the play was Minamata disease, something that up until that point in my life I had never heard about. They showed us photographs of some of the victims.
It was an intensely moving experience, and one which has stayed vivid in my memory and contributed something to the person I am today.
Children need to learn about this sort of stuff. History should not be sugar-coated for their consumption.
