I sweat a lot when I work outside, too. Also fine by me. Most people down here do. It may be the humidity. When I do physical work in desert conditions, I stay perfectly dry.The white marks on my t-shirt and shorts are the salt left behind from the sweat.

Ah, you only *think* you stay perfectly dry. I guarantee your body dumps huge quantities of water when working outdoors in the desert. It just dries on your skin.
This fools a lot of desert newcomers. They can't figure out why they feel so sick when "it wasn't even that hot out".
Yeah, you're right, I could always tell the difference. It's not that I don't sweat in the desert. I just don't get WET from that sweat. It evaporates the minute it comes out.
In the desert, the salt stays on my skin. It's the same amount of white stuff, just hardly any gets absorbed in the clothing. So when it gets in your mouth for whatever reason, the sudden saltiness is more intense than a swim in the ocean.
