Signs of burnout can be detected in sweat
- karmakaze 6y agoDoes anyone know what Cortisol or stress sweat smells like? I have on occasion smelled something I would describe as hot electronics, like a heated PCB. The occasions I've smelled this was usually indoors when I'm by myself in long possibly multi-day coding sessions. It took me a long time to realize that it could be me and not actually the electronics. I don't sweat under those conditions so don't know what it is I'm smelling, and I have a positive association with the smell of warm (not on fire) electronics.
