Perspiration When Eating

I sweat a bit with eating hot curry, or food that contains chillies.

It's one of the reasons that people who live in tropical asian countries eat a lot of curry as a method of cooling down.

I sometimes - very rarely and also at other times - get a sudden and short sharp cold sweat while eating. It hasn't happened often enough to associate it with anything I'm eating or have eaten at the time though.

I've seen similar links on Google to the gustatory sweating link that @Dark Horse has posted. Google also has links to possible causes of sweating in diabetics, related to glucose levels.

 

My partner is not diabetic but he sweats like this when he eats fast food or restaurant food. We still can't figure out what it is about the food that causes it, he has tried various types of meals and it still happens, but it doesn't happen if we make the same meal at home. He did have a nerve related sweating issue when he was younger though, so the nerve idea does make some sense!

 

I have this occasionally as well, it's only on certain foods which I cannot recall off hand are.

You are not alone.
