CRAP !!
the human body has over 2 million sweat glands.
if subjected to strenuous activity, the human body can produce up to three gallons of sweat in a 24-hour period. sweat is basically odorless; when it comes into contact with bacteria on the skin, a foul odor is emitted. those fumes compel Americans to buy about $750 million worth of antiperspirants and deodorants every year.
