Summer sweat

We are not saying anything new if we say: Sweat is water secreted by the human body, coming out of holes in the skin known as pores. Behind these holes are glands that extract water and whatever is in it from the blood, and it comes out of these holes, so we say it is sweat.
There is nothing new in this.

We add more and say:
We will add more and say: These glands are very small
You can barely see except with the lens as it magnifies it.
We go further and say: These glands are spread throughout the body. Almost the whole human. The number of glands ranges between two and three million.
We go further and say that man is distinguished from all other animals in general by the abundance of his glands and by the multitude of his pores. He shares that horse.
We go further and say: Sweat is a blessing, even if it appears to be a curse, especially if the summer is hot and clothes get wet, both inside and out.

We will go further and say: There are two types of sweat glands in the human body: small, macroscopic glands, which are the ones from which the known sweat emerges, and other glands, which we have not talked about yet, and we will talk about at the end of this research. They are larger glands, found at most in the armpit, which secrete Sweat is kind of cloudy, like an emulsion, and it is what gives bodies their smell.

- Race is a necessity;

Sweat is necessary because the body's chemical reactions,
What gives him life is a constant burning. And fire is heat. The heat must escape, otherwise the body temperature will rise to a level that is not conducive to the completion of these chemical reactions in the best possible way.
The body loses its heat due to radiation.
The body loses heat through sweat, as wetness appears on the skin, then evaporates, and with evaporation it carries with it a lot of heat. The body has reason and rationality, which prompts it to secrete a lot of sweat if its store of heat increases, and to secrete a little sweat if its store of heat decreases.

The body loses heat through ventilation, so people use fans, which move the air around the skin and carry away its heat. If it was sweat, the sweat would also carry vapor and have a more effective effect.

- Dogs don't sweat,

Dogs do not sweat, because their bodies do not have pores. So she's panting. The water comes out of her mouth with panting and becomes steam, carrying with it a lot of heat.

A man among us can pant like a dog, thus relieving his heat. But he soon gets tired and stops.

- Sweat is water and salt;

Sweat is water and salt. And the last of your tongue on the sweat of your skin, or the good deed after dryness, you taste its salt. Because of this salt, it may cause great harm to humans.

An example of this is workers who work with their bodies in a hot environment. They sweat a lot, and through this sweat they lose a large amount of salt, which may reach 20 grams per day. As a result, the worker suffers from a painful contraction in the skeletal muscles, and this condition is prevented by adding salt at a rate of one gram to every liter of drinking water. The food is saltier than usual. There are special salt tablets that are swallowed with water.

- Al-Franun and Al-Adnan,

Examples of these workers include bakers who stand at their ovens for many hours. As well as miners who work in their mines underground.

- and sunstroke,

Or they call it heatstroke, and the meaning is the same, as the sun is just hitting its sea.
It is characterized by an increase in body temperature in a man who exerts physical effort in the sun or in a hot ocean. The reason for this is a malfunction that affects the sweat glands, causing their secretion to decrease at first, as they become tired from prolonged secretion, and then stop secreting at all.

This results in damage to the brain itself, leading to:
death .
This used to happen to some of the pilgrims to the House of God, while summer was in full swing. They are treated by immediately placing them in baths containing both water and ice, which were set up by the authorities there on the way to Arafat.

There are two types of sweat: the sweat of heat and the sweat of excitement.

As for the warming sweat, that is what we have described.
As for the sweat of excitement, it is not due to heat.
If you want to ask for an example that is smooth and easy, like the sweat of emotion, then enter an exam hall, especially the end-of-year exam, and feel the insides of the palms of the male and female students as they write. It has the inside of a sweaty palm, and its sweat came out because of the mental effort exerted by the male and female students while they are in a crisis of severe psychological distress.

Likewise, the palms of hands become wet and their owner is in an embarrassing situation. Wendy says that it is enough for a teenager and a teenager when they begin to practice life. It is shyness, or perhaps it is fear, or perhaps it is turmoil in the face of a new situation. The male and female teenager writes, and the pages of the notebook become wet due to the sweat dripping from their palms. This may remain with them as long as adolescence remains.

And the soles of the palm are the soles of the feet. The soles of the feet also become sore during emotional crises.

The psychological emotional crisis may increase, and sweat may also appear on the face, especially on the forehead.

The soul calms down and relaxes, and all the sites of this sweat in the body dry up.

- Body odor, originating from sweat, but of a type;

What remains is the matter of the larger glands, the ones we mentioned at the beginning of this word. It gives objects their smells.

It's like those glands that give animals their scents.

It secretes a turbid liquid as a result of general agitation, aroused desire, or ongoing pain.

It is a liquid that comes out odorless at first, but it soon acquires that odor that is known to bodies and is hated in society. It results from the action of bacteria in this liquid.

This unpleasant odor, according to custom, is relieved when...
Some people, both men and women, and it becomes more severe for some people.

We say that it is objectionable according to custom, and this suggests that it is not objectionable “by nature.” Therefore, the affairs of human beings therein would be the same as animals

This opinion is reinforced by what some anthropologists say
And the species, there are people, in some parts of the earth, who are tormented by this smell in their noses. Even if a woman wanted to make her husband angry, she would take a shower and wash this smell off her body.

- How can a woman and a man get rid of the smell of armpit sweat?

The situation is different in the rest of the civilized world. Experienced people have made a lot of efforts to devise a way to remove this odor from the body. The best way, it seems, is to continue washing the armpits with soap, and shaving the hair there. All of this is to reduce the distressed action, not to reduce the sweat. After that, several things are used, the primary goal of which is to purify the afflicted person.

For example, washing the armpits with soap that contains the disinfectant chemical compound Hexachlorophane. After washing with this, a trace of this compound remains that reduces the action of bacteria.

There are other preparations that contain aluminum compounds, the most famous of which is aluminum chlorine.

Some advise swallowing tablets such as those containing the plant chlorophyll, but it is not yet clear that these tablets have any significant value in performing this purpose.
