Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down.
