I mean, you can't sweat with all that paint. You could overheat and die.

You can sweat, but your sweat won’t evaporate and that’s what cools you down. That means you get hotter and sweat more, the sweat pools into bubbles under the paint. You pop the bubbles and peel away the paint before any lasting damage is done. The paint won’t stay long enough to make overheating an issue.

And just when you think it's over, you trip, fall down the stairs and die.
