Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Exposure to fire has long been believed to cause bedwetting. If there is such a correlation, it should be discernible as spikes in search interest for bedwetting the day after national bonfire nights.

METHODS: I performed searches in Google Trends for bedwetting-relatedGoogle searches.

RESULTS: I included data from Ireland, Portugal, Scandinavia, South Holland, Spain, and the UK, spanning 2004-2019. Search interest in bedwetting did not increase the day after bonfire nights.

CONCLUSION: Fire is unlikely to cause bedwetting.

FUNDING: none.

TRIAL REGISTRATION: none.
