I have hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet, which means they sweat profusely for random reasons, and it's extremely annoying. and it took twenty-eight goddamn years to figure out it's (at least partially) triggered by temperature. At 71F, I sweat profusely. At 69F, I'm dry.

other things it seems to be triggered by maybe but i'm not sure: lack of exercise for too long. my body being in odd positions (yoga, or balancing on things to put up curtains). thinking about my hands sweating.

have you checked a correlation with low blood sugar? Like not super low on blood sugar, just relatively low. That’s what sometimes triggers sweating for me. Drinking something sugary or eating fixes it.

I don't think so? I've had this condition all my life and it's taken me admittedly a long time to figure out what triggers it, but I don't *think* low blood sugar triggers it.

That last one is the real recursive killer...

Don’t know if it would work for you but Carpe makes incredible anti-perspirant lotions for every part of your body and personally I think they’re amazing.

Outside of the brain, I would think that it is tied to the nerves in your hands.
