Another interesting fact is that women tend to have more sweat glands than men but the sweat glands in men are more active. In a recent study, it has been said that we can get DNA out of a fingerprint because "there were cells shed that stuck to the surface of the fingerprint with sweat."

2. Know your hair: You lose 80 hairs per day. Towards the end of summer, you might lose more hair. However, it should be noted that whether you wash hair daily or once a week, the total hair loss over the week will be the same.
