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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
