SWEATY FEET


Excessive sweating of the feet may be the local manifestation of a generalized condition or a phenomenon limited to the lower extremity. The causes of these two varieties differ and need individual consideration. In the foot the sole is chiefly affected as, like the palm of the hand, it is very richly supplied with sweat glands.

Know Your Fruits and Veggies™: Summer Squash
By Dawn Swidorski, Public Outreach Director

Summer squash is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family and is related to the melon and the cucumber. Squash was one of the earliest vegetables cultivated in the Western Hemisphere. Archeological evidence shows squash was cultivated as early as 5500 BC – 7000 BC. Combined with beans and corn squash provided a complete protein that was critical to the diet.
