I'm a retired critical care RN with 36 years of experience, I practiced in hospitals, and in prehospital (EMS) environments. I have experienced, observed and researched the effects of the full moon on humans. I believe our body composition does play a role. Here are a few clinical facts; women go into labor in higher numbers during a full moon, consider the content of amniotic fluid. Heart emergencies occur more often. Suicidal tendencies (calls to hot-lines, attempts) increase. Domestic incidents are reported more often. Psychiatric patients (clinically diagnosed) are shown to "act out" against themselves and/or others. In my personal observations, my 2 cents, emotional outbursts are more prevalent, sadness, anger, feelings of doom. I can't explain why these things seem to happen around the Full Moons. Some, as I've stated are factual, others are just my experience over the years.
Thank you to The Farmers Almanac for all the informative articles and for raising my awareness. I truly appreciate your work and for the opportunity to continue to learn.
