The heat and hectic filming schedules were a lot to blame as well. From S2 or maybe S3 onwards they didn't have a proper shooting set and were just shooting out of a big tent or lot or whatever. Australia is famous for its rapid shooting schedules meaning long days on set as well. Combine with the heat over there and it wasn't the most comfortable working environment for the cast.
I've heard it said in interview with various cast members that there was hardly a one out of them that didn't take a trip to the emergency room from passing out due to heat exhaustion. With the nature of Scorpy's outfit covering his head I guess that made it worse but he did mention the tightness making it difficult to breathe! Virginia Hey apparently poisoned by her makeup, Wayne Pygram hospitalised by his outfit, Claudia Black accidentally assaulted by a guest star while shooting a stunt sequence in the dark.. they suffered to bring us this wonderful show
