What the FDA AER plate says about Excessive sweating

Signature read: report volume at 88 (#1454 of 2,481) is the standout scale stamp on Excessive sweating. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 13 of 88 reports were death-coded (14.8% of named reports, not a population mortality rate).
