Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
