Well.. I doubt our tongues would sweat. It is already wet anyway. If we are thirsty, our mouth tries to make it watery, by bringing the saliva out, but that does not mean the tongue is sweating.

Our eyes, wouldn't sweat. The tears from our tear ducts does not really count as perspiring...

The private parts... I assume they sweat! Right??!

Hands, arms, legs, toes, feet, arm pits, shoulders, necks, faces, they all sweat!

Probably 99% of our exterior sweats. I'm not completely sure where the 1% are!

Do the inside of your nostrils sweat or the outer part of your ears, I have never seen sweat come from the ear lobe or upper ear, yes behind ears on head, but not the ears themselves.. They always get fire hot looking red but never have I seen sweat on some ones ear. LOL running from head down along side of ear..yes.

OK, being a good scientist, I have conducted an experiment. I have been out walking in this sticky, muggy heat (heat index near 90°F / 34°C) and the back of my ears and my eyelids are sweating. As a scientist, one must scrifice one for the good of mankind!
