what is the (biological) use of cold sweat?

260 viewsBiologyOther

Why do we sweat when we get really scared? It doesn’t seem to have an advantage to me. Also, cold sweat really smells. If your enemy can smell that you’re scared shitless, doesn’t help with surviving, right?

Adrenaline causes you to sweat. Sweat doesn’t smell, it’s the bacteria that grow, multiply and die within it that smell.
