Now take the number of accounts on Reddit, which is around 36,000,000. Divide that number by 365, which gives you 98,630 (we will round that to 100,000). Now we can work out that there was a 1 in 100,000 chance that the person you just replied to was Mike.
But Mike is a fairly common name, plus the (vast?) majority of Redditors are men, so I'd say there was a slightly better chance of him finding a Mike, tho not necessarily the Mike
As a medical student, I can say that I have learned in lecture that the RDA for vit D is pretty low, and people can perhaps benefit from higher levels. However, I can't say that excessive sweating was a clinical feature we were taught to look for. However, I have heard it from non-reputable sources.
Omg. I recently found out my vitamin D is ridiculously low and months of prescription strength supplements hasn't brought it up. I start sweating if it's above like, 75 degrees. My head and face sweat the worst so I can forget about doing my hair or makeup for 6 months out of the year.
Oh my gosh! Me too! My husband thinks I'm crazy, but if I don't keep it at like 72 in the house I start sweating profusely. Especially my face! I'm gonna try taking vitamin D supplements.
Or hiperhidrosis. My NCO in the Army has it, he'l could be butt naked in the snow and still have nice beads forming all over his Hotspots and his face.
I didn't know about the Vitamin D deficiency thing, but I'm going to assume it's much more common that it's just his natural biology.
If you're a medical student then you know infinitely more than I'll ever know, but because I know nothing, I feel like I can step back and look at it with only logic and nothing else. No offense intended.

That could be a vitamin D deficiency
