Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
