I was taking a walk outside my house for about 5-10 mins, and I came back and tasted my sweat, and it feels cold and not salty. Does this mean that I am having cold sweat and what does it mean?

Each to their own but WTF are you doing tasting your sweat? It depends on how much water you have been drinking and the level of exercise. Sweat isn't always salty. As for it being cold, how long was it after your walk? Sweat is there to cool us down so it may have done its job already. I presume you mean a "cold sweat" in relation to a kidney infection? With one of those you'll probably have a fever and shiver a lot if it is similar to the ones I have had. Your sweat won't just be cold, you will feel cold while you are sweating.

Sweat is there to help you cool down, so it sounds like your A-Okay to me. If it starts coming out green, let us know . . . . otherwise, read the above post once more.-hehe
