"Girl, I'm going to make you sweat; sweat till you can't sweat no more" these are the lyrics of a very popular reggae song. I think its supposed to be a sexy song, but sweating is never sexy. Accordingly, I don't get the success of this song.
I think I have hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest. As I type, my armpits are drenched for no apparent reason. Gross? Oh, I know, but I have to own it otherwise I'll feel bad about myself.
Once at a christmas party, my coworker said "i love that you are so sweaty all the time, and you're just like 'whatevs'" This would have been a insult if I didn't decide years ago to take a stance of power and ownership.
I do, however, wish that stance would make me stop sweating.
Mike Thomas, a chemical engineer and Team Leader for Proctor & Gamble's antiperspirant line, told Sweat Solutions “you wouldn’t have stains if it weren’t for your antiperspirant. Antiperspirants are very acidic and it’s that acidity that causes the colors on your clothes to shift.” He suggests that people apply a thin layer and wait for it to thoroughly dry in order to avoid underarm stains.
If we didn't sweat, we would die. That's pretty dark.
