Because there is salt in the sweat, it makes it possible to go through the skin, and sweat glands have unique little channels that allow salt to go through them and reach the skin. What moves it though the skin, is an osmotic gradient. Therefor, sweating only occurs in certain body parts where the skin can absorb and let out water of any kind.
not only do i know this is true from personal experince but other sources can back me up on this....its almost like they want someone to know just how truly bad they are/were
