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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
