Shave your arms up to your elbows. If anyone says anything about it say you took a cooking course on making pizza from scratch, and the instructors recommended shaving your hands and forearms if you were going to try hand-tossing the dough to limit contamination.
Men, if you have an issue with being too warm, and are hairy, that's likely correlated. During the heat wave this summer I did total body hair removal, and my comfortable temperature range went from like 72F to 80F
But, I have both hyperhydrosis and sweat triggered eczema, so staying cool is medically necessary for me.
Being fully hairless just makes my clothes feel stickier in hot weather. Fine hair helps wick moisture. But ya, better than being fully furry if your hair grows in like a gorilla.
I'm covered in thick fur from my head to the tips of my toes. I usually run hot and feel most comfortable in 65-68 degree temperatures.
I did a full hair removal one summer - everything from the neck down - just to see if it would relieve me of the heat. Unfortunately, my hair also grows ridiculously fast. Not only did it fully grow back in less than a week, but it came back thicker! I now have fur patches in places I used to just have a few fine light hairs. Now I'm extra miserable in the heat.
Bonus cruelty: I was in the US military for 20 years and kept getting stationed in hot places, including a deployment to Africa and a deployment to Iraq, both during the summer. I actually developed a heat rash in Africa from sweating too much.
Hair doesn't grow back thicker when shaved; that's an old wives tale. The reason it feels thicker is that the ends of the hairs haven't been worn down yet. You can use a piece of denim as kinda sandpaper to smooth them out.
But yeah, I had to full body shave like every 3 days, so I just started using an epilator.
I work with substances nobody should really mess with and that implies wearing gloves for extended periods of time.
Pulling hairs out is a daily event and washing contaminants away when the gloves fail with that much hair - or any amount whatsoever - makes things harder.
