It has always fascinated me how our digestive system can be acidic in one area and then alkaline just adjacent to it, and how enzymes and microorganisms function in both.

This is some pretty serious chemistry going on.

I also do not get the scoffing of the dry heat. Anything over 80 out East, I'm sweating like a pig. 110 out west, yeah it's hot, but I don't secrete a drop.
But that's simply not true.  You're still sweating, but it's evaporating like it's supposed to and keeping you cool but not making you damp.

First time I ever went to the desert (if Phoenix is properly called desert.....I dunno) the lack of humidity was unfamiliar to me, and very misleading.  I was aware the temp was well above 100 that day, but as I walked around I thought "This isn't nearly as bad as I was expecting."  After a while I started feeling funny, and noticed I was starting to sunburn just a bit.  I realized it was hotter than I was feeling it, and when I drank water I suddenly realized why I was feeling strange.  I was dehydrated and hadn't been keeping my fluids up.  

I realized I equate "feeling" hot a fair bit with the humidity I'm used to that goes with it here.  The dry heat didn't feel bad at all to me for a while....until it did.  But for short stints outside I found it way more pleasant than 90 degrees here.  Also, no matter what the temp was in AZ, if I got in the shade, it felt like a nice day outside.  I was amazed by that.  The shade only does you so much good here, and it won't stop you from soaking your clothes in sweat.

Dry heat will sneak up on you.

Southern humidity just punches you right in the face.

Yeah, my personal conversion from FL heat to AZ heat is about 15 degrees difference.  And yes, if you're out of the sun in AZ, it's fine.  
In FL, it was just a given that on a hot day, your armpits and crotch are soaked before you even get to your car.  And the shade is nearly irrelevant.  

The best difference in AZ's favor is the utter lack of flying insects.  Growing up with mosquitos and then having none of them was an incredible experience.  

But also, with the dryness, you might get a random nose bleed in AZ and your feet go from perfectly good to ugly.  Just lacking that daily moisture of rain (in flip-flops), walking confidently in lush grass (instead of everything being prickly), etc.

105 in AZ is like 90 in FL (with 90% humidity).  Above 110 is just stupid, so just don't spend any time outside.  The temps aren't a concern in AZ below 100, because it's perfectly comfortable.

That is literally what I thought when I flew from Austin to New Orleans years ago.  Austin is more humid than a lot of places, but it has nothing on NOLA.  Disembarking from the plane and going through the airport, I wasn't thinking anything about it.  I exited the doors at the pickup lanes, and that's exactly what I thought.  My friend who picked me up asked how I was doing, I said when I walked outside it felt like a hot, wet hand had punched me in the face.

You're poking holes in the science of my perspiration post, but you didn't open with the fact that pigs don't sweat?

That's not what they're called in FL.  They're gnats.
