Know Sweat! campaign.
This Press Kit contains statistics and other useful information about hyperhidrosis and its devastating effects, the International Hyperhidrosis Society, and our successful Know Sweat! campaign.

As part of the Know Sweat! campaign, the International Hyperhidrosis Society commissioned Harris Interactive to survey more than 1,000 U.S. and Canadian adults about their sweatiest moments. The results highlight the important differences between occasional, circumstantial sweating and the plight of nearly eight million men, women, and children in the U.S. who sweat profusely no matter what the situation.
