my name is Brandon and I am originally from  Trinidad. I came to the US in 2004 and ever since I came here I have never  sweated. I was diagnosed with  anhydrosis when I joined the US NAVY in  2007.  anhydrosis is the failure of the sweat glands, it is mostly found in  horses but very few humans have too and unfortunately one of them is me. its is  very difficult living with this disease not only because there is no known cure  but the simple fact that it feels like you are getting stung by 3000 bees at  once. to make through a simple day I have to keep my body cool so I wouldn’t go  into a heat stroke, to do this I try to stay indoors in the air-condition but  since I work for the US NAVY I am outside a lot. There was one incident where I  fainted because my body's core temperature got too high. some techniques I also  use is tying a an icepack around my back to withdraw some of the heat from my  body (doesn’t really work well....lol). I have earned the nickname iguana - boy  since we go through the same thing to stay alive.
