🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆If the body's natural temperature is about 98 degrees (F), why does it still feel really hot when the ambient temperature is 98F?
TheBananaKingYour body is constantly generating heat. If that heat has nowhere to go, your temperature goes up and up.
You need to be in an environment that sucks heat away as fast as you create it - and if the external air temp isn’t cold enough to do that on its own, then you have to rely on evaporation of sweat to help shed the heat.
If that doesn’t cut it, you die.
It’s the feature that let us become the dominant predator. We could track large game that is wounded until the collapsed from heat exhaustion. Yay sweaty humans!
MoonshineDegreaserSo are you saying that people who sweat more in hot environments are better suites for long distance hunting? Because I’m a gross, sweaty motorcycle and I would like to feel better about it
hell yeah brother go kill an antelope
This podcast will kill you has an episode on sweat and how it’s a superpower.
My meds make me sweat a lot so I must be super powered.
And this is how you learned that you can fly. Damn it, now I’m jealous.
sudo22Probably not I’m sorry. Sweating enough so that the sweat evaporates as fast as it excretes from your pores is optimal. Skin being more wet doesn’t cool faster (drops of sweat falling off you don’t cool you), so excess sweat would just dehydrate you faster. Sorry
