Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
