To assess whether dog bites requiring hospital admission occur more at the full moon.

All public hospitals in Australia.
Admissions for dog bites.
12 peak clusters of admissions were unrelated to the time of the full moon.
Dog bites are no more frequent on full moons than at any other time of the month. Sceptics rejoice.

犬咬伤的入院情况。
12个入院高峰集群与满月时间无关。
