Your first reaction to hearing about this condition might be to wince or smile. Either way, you might think having sweaty hands is nothing to really sweat about. However, people whose hands sweat nonstop are often miserable.

Their hands have just been dripping. Often, for many years, they've felt enormous social and professional embarrassment.

The man came to UW Medical Center for treatment, and now can shake hands without worry. The hands literally drip.
