Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth.
