Interesting information and it challenged me to learn how much a
milliliter is!

That site says we can sweat up to 50 ml per minute, which is 10
teaspoons. That sounds like a lot but apparently that's the number
for the entire body. I'm curious what is normal for underarms since
that's my primary HH area.

I got so curious that from the hamper I pulled a blouse I managed to
soak when I wore it visiting my new inlaws on Thanksgiving. Stress
always does it to me! I measured the dried stain at 10 inches across,
then I used a measuring spoon to apply a half teaspoon of water. It
turns our that's a lot of water, it spread 3/4rds of the way out.
Another half teaspoon was enough to wet it as much as my underarms
had.

That's only 1 teaspoon, and I don't soak my clothes than much in 1
minute, it might take 20 or 30 minutes when under stress. So my
underarms sweat much less than 50 ml per minute. I still wonder what
is typical for most people from the problem areas.
