    Isn’t excessively sweaty hands a sign of thyroid problems?

    Edit: for some reason I read the post as if OP was wearing the gloves to combat sweaty palms instead of the gloves causing them, hence this incredibly dumb comment.

      You missed where OP said nitrile gloves. Basically plastic, latex gloves.

      It would be weird to wear those gloves all day and not sweat.

      If you’re getting excessive sweaty hands when wearing nitrile gloves, thyroid problems isn’t the most likely cause…

      You weren’t wrong though! It can be a symptom of that :)

      Which means your response might have been helpful, and the mistake was innocent, so kudos for asking a good question despite it being the wrong question

        The best part was right after I posted that I was all like “hey, maybe this will be one of those times someone comments on something on the internet and then the person discovers they have some health issue that needs treating! I’m a hero!”
