Meryl Horne

So here's what they did.

She worked with her advisor and they got the records from her trauma center for a year.

Over 1,400 people all together.

And she looked to see, like, how many people were admitted, how bad are people's injuries, whether or not they died.

And then they took the day of the full moon and also the day before that and the day after it to kind of look at all those nights around the full moon and then compare those nights to every other night of the month to see, like, okay, is there any difference here?

Was this night different to all other nights?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Here's what she saw.

Yeah.

There was no increase in how many people were admitted, how bad their traumas were, or how many of these patients died around the full moon.

Yeah, a little bit.

Which she thought about it and was like, oh, maybe this makes sense.

Because on those nights... It's brighter.

And since Wendy's study, others have come out looking at the same thing across the world.

Like a couple studies from the Netherlands did see a tiny decrease in traumas on a full moon.

Decrease again.

Yeah, yeah.

It was like better.

Okay.
