Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.

When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
