Theophrastus Bombastus Von Hohenheim known as Paracelsus was a German-Swiss , or Renaissance man, whose interests included medicine, chemistry and toxicology. Characterized as a rebellious and great reformer of established medicine of his era, Paracelsus preferred observing nature, over studying ancient texts to find appropriate treatments for various diseases. He also used unconventional curative methods, such as minerals and other inorganic substances, which caused much controversy among his contemporaries. The main purpose of this article is to highlight his contribution on toxicology and the use of mercury.
被称为帕拉塞尔苏斯的狄奥弗拉斯图·博姆巴斯图斯·冯·霍恩海姆是一位德裔瑞士人，或者说是一位文艺复兴时期的全才，他的兴趣包括医学、化学和毒理学。帕拉塞尔苏斯被认为是他那个时代既定医学的叛逆者和伟大改革者，他更喜欢观察自然，而不是研究古代文献来寻找各种疾病的合适治疗方法。他还使用非传统的治疗方法，如矿物质和其他无机物质，这在他的同时代人中引起了很大争议。本文的主要目的是突出他在毒理学和汞的使用方面的贡献。
