What if you can not sweat?

When I first started exercise, I would sweat so much. After a few months, the sweat stopped, even I worked really hard. I started to drink a glass of hot milk or just hot water right before exercise, guess what, I sweat again! 2nd answer: You always sweat. It may evaporate right off, so you do not notice any drops of sweat. The exception is if you are suffering from sun stroke . . . your body cannot sweat any more, and you are on the verge of dying from being too hot.

Two examples of modified sweat glands are mammary glands and ceruminous glands.

Does a platypus's sweat contain milk?

Yes and no. In monotremes, which includes the platypus, there are mammary glands but no teats. When producing the milk, the mother excretes milk out of pores in the skin and the young platypuses lick the milk off the abdomen. The mother has grooves specifically designed to keep milk that is excreted out. These glands from which the milk is secreted are modified sweat glands on the platypus's abdomen. In all mammals, the mammary glands are really little more than modified sweat glands, but it's the the absence of nipples which is more obvious in platypuses. Interestingly, the male platypus's venom gland is also a modified sweat gland.
