Its basically an industrial strength antiperspirant that plugs your pores. Its great for those with overactive sweat glands.
(Yes, this means there is a cure for ball-sweat)
My brother uses it and now has dry hands year round. Just reapply once a week before bedtime. The stuff can really burn the first couple times you use it.
In Canada its available without a prescription at any drug store. Just ask for it at the Pharmacist's counter.
Other alternatives include iontophoresis (don't buy the unit, just build one yourself with some aligator clips, a resistor and a bunch of 9V batteries in series).
Surgery is also an option for overactive sweat glands, but I'd say the risks outweigh the benefits in that instance.

I have to say, after having that mouse for 3 months with it slowly becoming worse to unuseable at the end, that it is the worse mouse ever. The noises the fan makes is like the buzzing of an angry hornet. You have to hit it gently to get it to stop. Eventualy, after hitting it too many times, the optics gave out.

Well, at first I wasn't interested, but your snazzy "DIY all the way, baby!" lingo got me interested. Let's have a look.

Or you could just buy a cat.

What if they just made a hovercraft mouse? Smooth scrolling and forced air - the perfect hack!
