comment What determines the (perceived) frequency of tinnitus?
@Jeff Interesting, but rather indigestible and verbose. Would be nice to get an answer that explains things in simpler terms.

comment What chemicals can be detected from one's sweat?
I recently watched a documentary in which a team demonstrated a type of sensor that would compute blood sugar levels from sweat, which was pretty neat. I guess a lot of stuff is leaked out that way.

@jonsca Nope, this was recent, perhaps a month or so old. I completely forgot about this last night, but I'll try to remember to dig out the article tonight.
