Clearly, this is no longer the case. In fact, it is said that a pretty big amusement park in England even put a stop to that famous arm raise that we like to do on roller coasters to prevent the P.U. These days, a hardcore case of B.O. would scare anyone off.
In truth, some people struggle with this issue more than others -- especially when it comes to sweating. But what causes some people to emit lots of stinky sweat, while others have few to no problems in the way of this problem?
According to Everyday Health, we all sweat. "Sweating is a normal response to heat or anxiety," Hunter Q. Kirkland, M.D., a cardiothoracic surgeon at Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons in Austin, Texas, tells Everyday Health. So normal sweating is no reason to worry.
That said, some people sweat more than others. When this sweating becomes excessive, it may be a health issue called hyperhidrosis, which affects 8 million Americans.
Everyday Health says that you’ll know you have this issue if you simply can’t keep your clothes dry, deodorants don’t solve the problem, showering a lot is a reality, and if there’s no reason why you’re sweating. Plus, you may sweat profusely in other areas -- like the palms, soles of the feet, and groin area.
If these factors have become a reality, you need to step up your game. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, the first thing you need is a good antiperspirant. Antiperspirants can be found the deodorant section of stores and come in a variety of strengths (from regular strength to clinical strength).
