Women sweat differently than men

[OakLeaf]

I grew up in a variety of climates too. Never anything that was super cold or super warm year round, but by the time I was 14 I'd experienced -40° (which is the same C or F), +115°F (46°C, but it was a dry heat ), and Chicago-area humidity.

My body just doesn't make warmth in the cold. Even in north Florida, if the winter stays cool, my toes are blue. In Ohio, my toes are literally blue from October through April. When I go to sleep on a cool night, I have to wear a cap, wool everything, three blankets drawn up over my head with only my eyes and nose exposed, and I still spend a half hour shivering before I can sleep.

I can acclimate to heat, but I'm also prone to overheating when I'm not acclimated. I try to stay out of AC as much as possible - I don't like it anyway, but the less I have to deal with it, the easier I can acclimate to heat.
