	The Boomer Esiason Foundation - How Cystic Fibrosis Is Diagnosed
		In the past, blood tests were required to screen for gene mutations because DNA is present in most cells.
		The Gibson-Cooke method of sweat testing is considered by most clinics to be the most accurate for cystic fibrosis.
		The sweat test uses a chemical called pilocarpine to produce sweat and then the sweat is collected and its sodium chloride rate is measured.

	Blue Histology - Integumentary System
		Sebaceous glands are also found in some of the areas where no hair is present, for example, lips, oral surfaces of the cheeks and external genitalia.
		The histological structure of apocrine sweat glands is similar to that of merocrine sweat glands, but the lumen of the secretory tubulus is much larger and the secretory epithelium consists of only one major cell type, which looks cuboidal or low columnar.
		Apocrine sweat glands are therefore part of the pilosebaceous unit.

	Sweat glands and body odor
		Sweat glands are found in almost every part of the skin, forming tiny coiled tubes embedded in the dermis or subcutaneous fat.
		Sweat plays an important part in regulating the temperature of the body by cooling it by evaporation of water from the skin (this is different from the transepidermal water loss through the stratum corneum).
		Apocrine glands are formed from the same structure as the hair follicle and sebaceous glands.

	Howstuffworks "How Sweat Works"
		Basically, the sweat gland is a long, coiled, hollow tube of cells.
		The coiled part in the dermis is where sweat is produced, and the long portion is a duct that connects the gland to the opening or pore on the skins's outer surface.
		When the sweat gland is stimulated, the cells secrete a fluid (primary secretion) that is similar to plasma -- that is, it is mostly water and it has high concentrations of sodium and chloride and a low concentration of potassium -- but without the proteins and fatty acids that are normally found in plasma.

	International Hyperhidrosis Society: About Hyperhidrosis: Understanding Sweat
		Sweat is essential to human survival and serves as the body’s coolant, protecting it from overheating.
		The majority of them are “eccrine” sweat glands, which are found in large numbers on the soles of the feet, the palms, the forehead and cheeks, and in the armpits.
		In people who have excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, the sweat glands (eccrine glands in particular) overreact to stimuli and are just generally overactive, producing more sweat than is necessary.

		Axillary hyperhidrosis or as it is known to the laymen as "armpit sweating" is the medical term used for excessive sweating in the armpit of a person.
		At times the excessive axillary sweating is accompanied by the more known entity of palmar hyperhidrosis or excessive hand sweating.
		The basic principle is to reduce the overall number of apocrine glands which in turn will reduce the amount of sweating and hopefully the amount of smell in cases of bromhidrosis.

	Skin Care Articles: Don't sweat it! Learn about excess sweating and how to treat it
		The exact cause of primary hyperhidrosis is unknown, although it is believed to result from an overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system, which stimulate the sweat glands.
		Based on the location of the excessive sweating, associated symptoms, family history, age of onset and any specific triggers, your doctor can confirm if you have hyperhidrosis, determine if it is primary or secondary, and prescribe the appropriate treatments.
		Medications, such as glycopyrrolate, help prevent stimulation of sweat glands, but are not widely used because of side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation and problems with urination.

		The possible relationship between these sweat gland findings and the current finding of CWD bacteria in human blood is discussed, as well as the speculative role of CWD bacteria as causative agents in certain autoimmune, lymphoproliferative, and neoplastic diseases.
		Based on personal observations of acid-fast stained eccrine glands studied in over 100 different clinical cases with assorted pathologic processes, it is concluded that eccrine acid-fast “granules” are a “non-specific finding.” They may be found in a variety of pathologic conditions which are not included in this report.
		It is possible that the presence of acid-fast granules in eccrine sweat glands might provide a clue to possible infection with CWD bacteria.
