A Foot has an Average of 500,000 Sweat Glands
Ever wondered why your sock starts to smell after prolonged wearing? One of the biggest reasons socks smell is sweat produced by your foot’s sweat gland. Your foot has an average of 500,000 sweat glands.
You need to wear fresh socks regularly to prevent bacteria build-up. The soles of your feet contain more glands per square centimeter; the soles produce approximately half a pint of sweat daily.
