Sweat is essential to human survival because it's the body's coolant, getting rid of excess heat and protecting the body from overheating.

Other data shows that hyperhidrosis has negative quality-of-life impacts equal to or greater than severe acne, is associated with much higher rates of anxiety and depression, and is more common than peanut allergies.
