Ontario Minamata disease
The Ontario Minamata diseases are a group of severe mercury poisoning cases in Ontario, Canada, affecting many sites, but affected three separate First Nation communities severely. These cases in Ontario were called "Minamata disease" due to identical symptoms to the first documented case of severe mercury poisoning that occurred in the city of Minamata in Japan.
