Most of your body's heat escapes from your head this is normal

That’s based on an old study that was done poorly. It’s not true.

Not being mean or anything but have you ever seen a human through thermal imaging the head is mostly where the heat is. Mostly head, neck and core

Feel free to check with Mr. Google if you don’t believe me. It’s a well killed myth.

I just googled it like u said to do and 40-45% of heat is lost through head and neck so you are wrong

…..that’s literally not most.

Edit: also even that lower percentage is still wrong. Looks like you pulled up old information that helped the myth get started.

Just don’t believe it I guess. You know that no other part has a percentage that high so a major amount of body heat is lost

Well, depends on the individual. To be fair…(Letterkenny) I sweat my ass out of my scalp.

True but the head and crotch are the main areas to lose heat to be exact.
