Casomorphin an ingredient in cheese has an effect similar to an opioid narcotic which can cause dilation of the subcutaneous blood vessels causing flushing of the face and neck and resultant sweating.

best to stop after the first 2 or 3 pounds, dear boy...

maybe you're allergic...?

You sit too near the fire.

hahah um allergic??? maybe?

Maybe you get so excited that you are eating cheese, that you can not control yourself. I have never sweated eating cheese. Make sure you are not allergic, or turn on the AC. Good luck!!

Don't know about sweats, but I have some wicked dreams on Stinky Cheddar.

Good question..

Are you diabetic by chance? Some studies have shown Diabetics to have facial sweating(gustatory sweating) when eating certain foods, cheese being the most common.
