Inhibition1

  • Delayed evaporation of retained sweat may cause post-flash cold rebound and renewed awakening

    Where this hypothesis actsSkin and textiles after a flash, when secretion and neural recruitment have subsided but retained moisture remains

    What is proposedPrevent delayed sweat evaporation from drawing heat from the body

    With whatPhysical or surgical intervention

    HowRemove retained liquid through collection, drainage or textile removal; compare a brief humid interval followed by drying with immediate drying

    Possible resultExpected abolition of the delayed heat-flux peak, with possible prevention of cold rebound and renewed awakening
