Abstract

Blaise Pascal's serious physiological disorders could be the consequence of a long exposition to mercury fumes as he was studying the first device of vacuum. Weakness headache, paralysis of the lower limbs were described by his sisters. Probably such were the causes of his bad health and of the disorders which hit him until his death.
