Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. 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. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
