  1. Ambient temperature will affect the measured value, including skin color, skin thickness, different parts of the human body, etc. will cause different measurement results, this is a correct phenomenon;

  1. The correct degree of the infrared thermometer may be between 35.5°C and 37.8°C. The situation of different people will be different. For household infrared thermometers, users can use more thermometers to measure to determine their own healthy temperature and judge the measured temperature. Whether it is normal;
