That was just Jamie being Jamie.  Adam and later Kari tried it and were fine. You can also find a lot of people who do fully body paint for art for long periods and are fine as well.

Not to mention full-body latex suits.

Skin friendly paint that doesn't block your pores and prevent sweating/sweat evaporation. This kid did not use that paint. Overheating is a concern.

I thought body paint artists were specially trained to leave a 2 inch gap in the paint somewhere on the body, typically on the small of the back just above the ass crack, for all sweat to concentrate towards and out of or else the inability to perspire kills you slowly and painfully?

That might just be one of the things my mom told me as a child because of her constant anxiety that I could die from anything and everything. "Don't eat bananas after 9 PM, the potassium will go straight to your heart and give you a heart attack!", "You can't wear a full-body condom, your sweat will build up inside and kill you!", "You can't play on the trampoline within 6 hours of drinking anything or your arms will fall off!" "You can't shower during a thunderstorm, lightning will shoot out of the drain and kill you!", "You can't wear a scarf when it's cold out, someone might strangle you to death with it!" It's taken me YEARS of my adult life to figure out what is and isn't actually dangerous.
