Which disease is associated with high mercury exposure from fish?

Minamata disease is directly associated with high mercury exposure, particularly from the consumption of contaminated fish and seafood. The term originates from Minamata Bay in Japan, where industrial discharge of mercury in the 20th century led to severe mercury poisoning in the local population. Symptoms of Minamata disease include neurological impairments, tremors, and cognitive dysfunction, which occur due to mercury's neurotoxic effects.

The other diseases listed are not linked to mercury exposure from fish. Chagas disease is caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite and is transmitted mainly through insect bites, while rabies is a viral infection typically transmitted through animal bites. Haff syndrome is associated with the consumption of certain types of fish and shellfish but is primarily linked to the consumption of certain toxins found in these organisms, rather than mercury specifically.
