It’s cold enough in Alaska that you don’t sweat. In fact in winter I suspect that the body loses the ability to sweat altogether. I base this theory on the events of yesterday when after a whole day of moderate activity my clothes were both clean and dry.

Fast forward a month or two to the depths of the Alaskan winter, when it’s so cold that temperatures are measured with complicated scientific instruments that only a select few can comprehend and I suspect the body begins to reabsorb previously shed sweat. If the above is true then Alaskans that wear clean dry clothes are at serious risk. In the absence of sweat molecules it is entirely likely that the body may start to absorb other molecules in close proximity to the skin such as nylon, acrylic, polypropylene, and the dreaded spandex.

This is no doubt why Alaskans never ever wash in the winter.
