Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
