you asked this question: How does the inability to sweat properly cause one to feel hot, hot, hot??

Being a former science teacher, you drew me in. Perspiration is a "cooling" process. I know that sounds weird, but what is happening is as the "sweat" evaporates, your body is cooled. That's why the desert hare has such huge ears - more area to help cool him off as his ears sweat. And did you ever wonder why pigs roll in the mud? They don't have sweat glands!

Now you can be on Jeopardy - lol

and maybe for those of us that are hot-hot-hot, rolling in the mud is an option. (I must be REALLY tired!)
