    You may have Gilbert Syndrome. Something like 10% of the population has it and it gives you more bilirubin in your sweat which causes this.

      You might also have or carry the cystic fibrosis gene that makes your sweat extra salty and staining. I have CF all my pillows are WAY worse than this and my parents both have the same issue, a few extended family members too.

      Salt in sweat will just do this but extra salty sweat will fuck up the way a pillow looks

        As one CFer to another, I hope you’re doing well. My pillows also turn somewhat yellow, but then again so my wife’s.
