For the first bit, I forgot to specify the name of the person and instead it says what it's referred to internally, oops.
As for sweat, that may be an oversight on my part. It seems the only thing to bring it down is using Adrenaline, food probably should but doesn't decrease sweat.
Lastly the items, any usage might not update properly until you move to a new room or check stats, otherwise you might be making a typo (check your inventory and use the name used there, don't forget to use capital letters).
Thanks for playing the game, hope this helps.
