Or, at an extreme end, this is the phenomenon described in people known as sociopaths: A tendency to not worry or panic becomes an outright inability to do so. After a deeply traumatic event, everything else can feel low-stakes. A general sense of imperturbability could hypothetically translate into other high-pressure situations. People who become accustomed to working in high-pressure situations, such as on a battlefield, may develop a tolerance to the effects of adrenaline surges. When the “fight or flight” response kicks in while thinking about public speaking, for example, many of us know this as a panic attack.
The most charitably plausible explanation for the prince’s intended meaning is this: Adrenaline bursts can cause us to sweat. Read: “Epstein is gone, but justice must still be served”Īnhidrosis is rarely temporary. So I’m afraid to say that there’s a medical condition that says that I didn’t do it.” And it’s only because I have done a number of things in the recent past that I am starting to be able to do that again. Either way, anhidrosis is not consistent with the account Prince Andrew gave during the interview: “Because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands War when I was shot at, and I simply-it was almost impossible for me to sweat. Though anhidrosis can be genetic, the queen is not known to have any such condition. But to have no ability to sweat from any part of one’s body is a sign of significant dysfunction of the nervous system-a rare genetic condition. The effect is similar to the temporary action of antiperspirants. Nerve damage or burns can cause a person to lose the ability to sweat in part of her body.

Covering the skin in liquid makes it able to transmit heat into the adjacent air much more rapidly than when it’s dry, as is noticeable to anyone who’s gotten out of a pool and found no towel. The function is vitally important as a way to cool the body and prevent heat stroke. Such a propensity to appear cool and collected while everyone else is flushed and damp has been attributed to the enviably high-status throughout history, but the medical condition of not producing sweat, anhidrosis, is extremely undesirable. The Times notes that Andrew’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has been known to appear not sweaty in hot circumstances. There are people who cannot sweat, or who sweat very little. In case the dubiousness of this claim is not already evident from its context, nested in a sea of dubious claims: This is a dubious claim. Maitlis: And you profusely sweating, and that she went on to have a bath possibly.Īndrew: There’s a slight problem with the sweating, because I have a peculiar medical condition, which is that I don’t sweat, or I didn’t sweat at the time, and that was-was it-yes, I didn’t sweat at the time. Emily Maitlis: She was very specific about that night.
