If sweat is not wiped off immediately, germs can enter.

Many people think that nothing can enter the body through our skin. Everyone thinks that intact skin acts as a reliable shield. Scientists have proven that this idea is wrong.

They have extensively studied the internal permeability of the skin that covers the body of humans and animals and have discovered that under certain circumstances, substances can enter through the skin and that in some cases the skin willingly absorbs and draws in solutions and liquids from the air or liquids around it.

For example, when sweat ducts dilate due to heat or humidity and produce a lot of sweat, the pores in the skin become larger. After sweating stops, they shrink and take back their original shape in a few minutes. During that time, if there are fine particles or solutions on the skin, the sweat ducts absorb them as liquids and draw them in.

Suppose a person walks in the sun and enters the house to sweat and wipes his body with a damp cloth. It takes two to three minutes for his sweat glands to contract. If he wipes his body with a damp cloth, the moisture in the cloth and all the dirt and germs in it will go into the skin.

If you sweat, you should wipe it off immediately, otherwise, there is a chance that sweat or another unwanted vapour from outside will enter the skin through the enlarged pores of sweat. Such unwanted vapours can definitely affect our health.
