A:Answer I would say NO if you want it to last...In the package come 3 pamphlets...Under "Precautions" in the "Others" the first thing that they tell you is "Do not place the unit a place exposed to humidity, dust, soot or steam, or direct sunlight...it may cause a malfunction"...I'm assuming that sweat and moisture coming from your body fall in that category...i guess just don't have it contact you skin
