Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat.
