I wonder which races sweat the most.

I'm basically Irish, and boy do I sweat. Even when I was young and fit, I would be drenched when my co-workers/friends looked dry.

My brother once asked the family doctor about his sweating. The doc just said everyone is different.



In their native habitat or at a standardized temperature?

I'm Scandinavian, and I'm comfy and dry when I can wake up seeing my own breath. After moving to California, though, I'm pretty sure I'm single handedly ending the drought.


Excessive sweating is probably a disease rather than race-related. In Chinese traditional medicine it is called 虚汗, so it definitely can affect at least one more race than Irish.


I'm also of Irish descent and am usually the last person to start sweating.
