Excessive Sweating

There are many different activities that cause us to sweat more than usual – room high temperature, hot weather, physical exercises, activities which make you feel anxious all cause the sweat to flow. Sweat by itself does not have much of an odor (body odor). Most of the smell is caused by bacteria which live on the skin and in clothing. These bacteria use the sweat for growing. The sweat on most of our body is not full of nutrients (foods) for bacteria, so the bacteria there do not cause a lot of smell.
