Your body is absorbing a bunch of the water effectively making you hypotonic inside, triggers estrogen and cortisol and dilates all your pores, especially corwn or head and pits and stuff and you get that cold leaky sweat irritating feeling. It happens any time you are over fluid and the water is out of control in the body. I used to have that happen, the thing is I knew what it was because id become very experienced with measuring and tracking and knowing signs of bodily tonicity balance. I switched to taking faster, cool showers, and it doesn't happen...cuz your pores don't open like when the water is hot and you don't absorb as much water...the only place that might absorb a tiny amount is bottom of feet, so its still better to make sure your drain is clear so the water doesn't build up and soak into your feet, and better yet just to take faster showers...but by far the most important thing is to use neutral to cool water, just a bit on the cooler side is best.
You can come at it from another angle too which is just eat something dense before a shower, and/or right after the shower if you notice like you are sweating in that fashion, take like a quarter tsp sugar straight up
Thanks for this, @pboy. Would you expect this influx of water to occur when using a hot tub? I use one at my gym fairly regularly, but I use the sauna immediately after and have noticed I sweat much more profusely than normal.
Could this be an effective solution for taking on the extra water?
Or could adding lots of salt/and or baking soda to a bath create the right environment to avoid a hypotonic state?
