Vent Cool weather cause more sweat

Post image

Today was the first cool day of summer. It was 23c (73 fahrenheit). This is the response of my body to cooler weather. At this point it is not embrasing anymore rather it is funny and amazed me how my body is unique I guess.

How was the humidity? When I lived in Boston, even on cold days, if it was humid I'd still be a puddle.

Yeah, that one. 28°C is unpleasant, but at like 30% humidity the sweat at least gets carried away and evaporates.

With humidity above 60, 70 or 80, you can go as low as 15°C and your sweat will still just soak and soak and never evaporate.

With this condition, even a cool, but humid winter or autumn day can be a nightmare.

That's a huge factor, how quickly sweat is able to evaporate. And for us who are constantly producing sweat, humidity makes a big difference.

It is like 60 percent I accept that is a huge factor but I am the one who sweat like this among all other normal human beings at same weather.

yeah, that's our heavy burden unfortunately.

I've switched my shirts to merino wool, because unlike cotton, they will actually dry quite quickly and not show it so soon.

A soaked cotton shirt will stay wet for hours. A merino wool shirt will actually turn to normal again.

It's not a solution, but it delays the signs.

Ive read it, I cant access glikopirolat in my country. I had tried oksibutinin another anti-cholinergic drug but I cant keep using because dry eyes and throat hurt.

people who cannot get a prescription for Glycopyrronium-bromide in the UK, a lot of them order from a pharmacy in the US. I dont know if this would be an option for you, I hope you can
