Unfortunately, it is a fact of life that all human beings sweat; some take it more seriously than others, and some are downright in your face about it. We eat, we process food, we get hot, we shiver, we sweat—-but that’s not the be-all and end-all of the story. Because we live in close contact with each other for the most part, and we don’t like the smell that others put out, for the most part; we are forced to go on this holy quest to find the best antiperspirant deodorant that will stifle or mask our smells and at the same time, stop that darned sweat from pouring down our sides from our armpits.

Think about it. When was the last time you made it through a day without being anxious about something and suffered the unfortunate result of sweating profusely because you couldn’t control the way your body reacted to the stress. Even the cavemen had anxiety in their lives. The thought of a wooly mammoth bearing down on you as you raced for the security of the cave with nothing between you and him but a little stick pointed on one end is enough cause to make you sweat profusely. We’ve come a long way from the caveman days, but we still have plenty of situations that cause anxiety and the resultant sweating. The unannounced summons by your boss to the inner office (“Please close the door behind you.”), to the kids not being home when they were supposed to be, to your wedding day—all of these are stressors in our lives that can overwhelm rational thought processes and cause our bodies to react and sweat profusely.
