IR Thermometer shoots lasers

Look, you can't take your own body temp with this. As you might know, your skin temp is not a very accurate way of telling whether you are running a fever. These are better used for industrial applications where you can shoot the temp of a wire junction box, or a hot wall and know where your process is becoming dangerous (hot wires mean too much current, which translates to melted insulation and shorted out electric components, or tripped breakers. Lazy man's thermometer indeed! I have one and I use it to check the temp of my drying process, which runs as hot as 270F. Go ahead. Put your hand on that.
