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.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth.
