Does a blue moon really have anything to do with how we behave? Or does it affect our pets more than us? People have always had the perception of a blue moon making people, or animals go crazy. Fortunately in 1996, researchers found that a blue moon, or an ordinary full moon for that matter, has no connection with people's behavior. Experiments showed that the amount of emergency room visits on nights of a full moon were no different from any other night. Well, that means it's safe to be "out on the town" if the moon is full right? According to an study published in the British Medical Journal in December 2000, you better be careful and make sure there are not many animals out at the same time you are (at least in Great Britain). Studies showed that one emergency room has more animal bites on the nights of, or around the night of a full moon. Hopefully, that's only true for Great Britain and not the United States...
This is an interesting subject. As growing up as a child we were always taught that on a full moon that people do become wild and the "crazy" comes out of people but this is an interesting fact to learn and the animal part as well.
