Yes, there are health risks for one using an infrared light regularly. Short-term exposure can cause burns to the skin. Longtime exposure can cause a risk of developing skin cancer (melanoma), squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.

What would be the hardest to see in infrared light?
Since our eyes can't see infrared light, you wouldn't be able to see ANYTHING if infrared is the only light available.
Is there a lens that can see infrared light?
I'm wondering if there's some kind of glass/material that would let you see infrared light?
What is the opposite of infrared light?
The opposite of infrared light is ultraviolet light, which has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to infrared light.
What has a longer wavelength red light or infrared light?
infrared
Will a camcorder with the night shot function on see with an infrared torch like you would with the infrared light on the camera?
Yes it will
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light.
What has wavelengths between one thousandth and 700 billionths of a meter?
Electromagnetic radiation in this range would fall between infrared and ultraviolet light. This includes microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet radiation.
What type of radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?
Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
A sentence with the word infrared?
Infrared light is light with a longer wavelength than red. Here are some sentences.Humans cannot see infrared light without special goggles.Infrared light creates a lot of heat.Many animals can see infrared light.
To warm your hands would you use infrared rays or visible light or ultraviolet rays or all?
Infrared light is heat. That would work best. But UV rays would too because they cause sunburns and are used in tanning booths
Can you increase the range of infrared?
No, the range of infrared light is determined by its wavelength, which is fixed. To increase the range, you would need to use a different technology, such as a more powerful transmitter or specialized optics that can focus the infrared light over a longer distance.
Is infrared man made?
No. Infrared is light (that we can't see) and light is NOT man made.
