In the case of the last lunar eclipse, it got mine out of a warm bed in the middle of a cold damp night. Solar eclipses exert a mesmeric effect on many people, causing them to travel great distances to stand in the path of one.

A solar eclipse can blind you, if you look directly at it, but the lunar eclipse we just had, has no effect on your body. The moons gravitational pull does cause the daily tide. The moon, sun, and earths positions all relative to each other affects the magnitude of the tide. When the tide is high, the moon is exerting more gravitational pull on the earth. Of course every force around us has some effect, but nothing noteworthy from the moon on humans.

Hi. Staring at the partial solar eclipse creates a situation where the 'blink reflex' is not triggered even though the part of the Sun still visible is as bright. This can (and has) caused blindness.

None really, although a solar eclipse could cause blindness if you look at it for too long -- not because there's "weird rays" during an eclipse; it's just because you should never look directly at the sun at any time (except during totality).
I guess an eclipse could also cause someone to flip out, if they didn't understand what they were seeing or if they were already mentally unstable. Cavemen were probably terrified by them.

None. An eclipse is:
- the shadow of the Earth crossing an object in space
or
- the shadow of an object in space crossing the Earth's surface
Either way, it can't affect a human (the correct word is "affect", not "impact").

None whatsoever. Unless you stared at a solar eclipse, in which case you'd probably burn your eyeballs out. Its dark enough to look at but still bombarding us with enough energy to damage the eyes.

the body won't be able to see a butt whup coming in the dark. peace!
it doesn't affect it like the moon does the brain and tides if that's what you're thinking.
