How do I prevent from sweating profusely in this heat???

Question

I just recently started a job which requires that I work outside about 75% of the time. I previously worked in an office environment and am not used to working in this this summer heat. I have been sweating profusely (everywhere), although I don't smell from it, it is very irritating to be wet all day. I have tried baby powder, but it inly worked for a few hours. I use certain dri on my underarms and that works great. Any suggestions for the rest of the body?????

Answer 1

Although there are a few ways to slow it down, you would not be wise to do it. It is your body's way of keeping you from getting heat exhaustion. Live with the sweat, it does not smell bad untill it gets old. I live in Florida where it is hot and humid, I know it's no fun, but you gotta live with it.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, no. What you'll need to do is drink lots of water to replace what you're losing, and try to wear cool clothing that will help wick away the sweat from you.

Now- You might find that a hat helps some.

Good luck!

Answer 3

rub yourself with vegetable oil and then slide all over the place. at least you will be having fun in your misery.
