I live in a hot and humid part of Mexico and last year when it was very hot and humid my iPod turned itself off and didn't start working again for another 2 weeks. This has happened again and there it seems that I have tried everything and I cannot get it to turn back on again. It has been like this for nearly a week. Help anyone?

The are 2 areas of concerns when operating the iPod in high temperatures, battery and hardisk.
Hot Tip
Battery
If you use your iPod, iPhone, iPad, or notebook in temperatures higher than 95° F (or 35° C), you may permanently damage your battery’s capacity. That is, your battery won’t power your device as long on any given charge. You may damage it even more if you charge the device in these temperatures. Even storing a battery in a hot environment can damage it irreversibly.
Hardisk
The iPod hardisk has a max Operating Temarature of 140° F (or 60° C)
So I think, you would be operating the battery, quite close to the limit, as our body temperature is already 96° F, and the ambient temperature, should bring it lower, unless your country ambient is higher than100° F.
