Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
