Abstract

During 1980 the relation between the moon phases and 1187 cases of self-poisonings in Oslo was studied. In contrast to a previous report from India no significant correlation was found between the full moon and self-poisoning. The aetiology of self-poisonings in western countries is rather more complex than to be explained by speculative 'human tidal waves'.
