We bet you didn’t know this about how you sweat.

The sweat you produce while dancing to Drake (physical exertion) isn’t the same sweat you’d produce if you were to meet him in person (emotional, uh, exertion).

But when you’re stressed, a mix of protein, lipids and amino acids is secreted from apocrine glands, like the ones in your underarms, which bacteria feast on—resulting in a malodorous situation.
