Greetings Infomaniacs,

Nobody likes to sweat, but it is an essential part of our bodily constitution. And it could be worse. You could be like a cow and sweat through your nose, or worse you could be like a hippo and sweat blood (they don't really sweat blood, but it does look like it). The good news is; if you tend to sweat readily, it probably means you're in pretty good shape.

Enjoy!

WHO SAID IT?

RANDOM TIDBITS

Sweating from stress and sweating to cool down are chemically different. When you sweat because you're hot, it comes from your eccrine glands, but when you sweat because you're stressed, it comes from your apocrine glands.


***
You have between 2 and 4 million sweat glands in your body. Your feet alone have about 250,000 sweat glands between them.

***
The name for absent sweating (or not sweating at all) is anhidrosis, which is dangerous because your body can overheat.

***
The more in shape you are, the more quickly and profusely your body will sweat. It does this to cool itself down so you can work out at a greater intensity for a longer period of time.

***
Sweat has a stinky reputation, but sweat itself doesn't actually smell. The odor comes from the bacteria on your skin instead.

***
Hippos' sweat is red. The colored pigment both acts a sunscreen and kills bacteria.
