Sweating sickness. Sweating sickness, also known as English sweating sickness or English sweate (Latin: sudor anglicus), was a mysterious and highly contagious disease that struck England, and later continental Europe, in a series of epidemics beginning in 1485. The last outbreak occurred in 1551, after which the disease apparently vanished.
Sweating (also called perspiration or sometimes transpiration) is the loss of a watery fluid, consisting mainly of sodium chloride (commonly known as salt) and urea in solution, that is secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals. Sweat also consist of the chemicals or odorants 2-methylphenol and 4-methylphenol.hare to: Sweat glands generally release water, salts (mostly NaCl), and urea (a waste product of protein degradation in the liver). Sweat also contains small amounts of 2-methylphenol â¦ and 4-methylphenol (also known as o-cresol and p-cresol, respectively) which are responsible for much of the unpleasant odor.
