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.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
