Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature.
