It peeled off ok believe it or not.  Shampoo took care of the sticky in my
¨hair.  Looked like some major 'bedhead' though as i recall til I washed it
all ¨out.

Well, one pair of leather gloves was all I needed up there and we have them
in ¨droves on ships as we also use them for firefighting gear.  Just had to
wash'em ¨up a bit then let dry.

Fungal and bacterial infections?  I've never had problems with those. 
Prickly ¨heat a few times but nothing serious.  I'm 'resistant' to both.

As to AC, not true.  Amost all spaces inside the ship have AC but that
doesnt ¨mean it's 'cool', just 'cooler'.  My own work spaces have always
been either ¨computer rooms or 'radio' and with all the electronics there,
we have extra ¨cooling so it's not bad where I work.  I have had to shut
all lights off and ¨all spare equipment to keep it under 95F but thats a
rare thing.  Normally runs ¨75F or a little lower.
