Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat.
