No. Look at the MRI, which generates enormous magnetic fields. It does not hurt the body. Even if you look at the iron in the blood, that iron is not ferromagnetic because it is distributed extremely finely, and iron needs to be in bulk form to be ferromagnetic.
Another Answer:
Sometimes. Large rapidly oscillating magnetic fields can cause extensive bodily damage. This damage is exactly similar to electromagnetic radiation damage received by exposure to gamma, x, and ultra violet radiation. Simply put magnetic fields by themselves are relatively harmless, but when used to induce electrical currents or chemical reactions, they can be moderately dangerous.
As with practically everything, magnetic fields do have the potential to harm the human body, but it depends on the degree.
Consider the extreme example: All materials have the property known as diamagnetism, which is basically caused by atoms creating a repulsive magnetic field to oppose an external magnetic field. Given a strong enough external magnetic field, this effect could rip apart the atoms in the body. This situation is unrealistic, but an example of a harmful effect nonetheless.
As far as reality is concerned, there is an ongoing debate about whether magnetic fields can be harmful. There is evidence, but it's hardly conclusive. To learn all about the claims, evidence, studies, and conclusions, see the related link below.

Will changing the electric field will have no effect on the magnetic fields of a body?
yes, it will, from my book.
What tool does scientist use to find magnetic fields?
A magnetometer detects magnetic fields.
What is magnetic in electromagneticism?
Maxwell's equations state that electric fields create magnetic fields, and vice versa. If you have a current, you have a magnetic field. If you have magnets, you have an electric field.
Are there any chemical reactions that can be affected by magnetic or electric fields?
Yes, several chemical reactions are affected by magnetic or electric fields.
How do the electric and magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave regenerate each other?
No. Current flow creates electromagnetic fields in space. Electromagnetic fields, in turn, can create current flow in conductors. The electric fields do not directly create magnetic fields, nor do magnetic fields directly create electric fields.
What are magnetic fields?
They are areas where a magnetic force or pull is felt by an object or body which enters the area.
Will changing the electric field will have no effect on the magnetic fields of a body?
yes, it will, from my book.
When was The Magnetic Fields created?
The Magnetic Fields was created in 1989.
What is a science experiment that demonstrates that magnetic fields cannot be blocked?
Magnetic fields can be blocked. Magnetic fields cannot penetrate a superconductor, and regions can be shielded from magnetic fields using ferromagnetic materials.
What do you need magnetic fields for?
magnetic fields are essential to production of electricity
What can be inferred about magnetic fields and paper?
Paper is not affected by magnetic fields.
Is an MRI nuclear?
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or as it used to be called NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) has nothing to do with nuclear energy or nuclear radiation. but yes it is nuclear, it has to do with nuclear magnetism. A strong magnet lines up the magnetic fields of the nuclei in the atoms of your body then a radio pulse flips those magnetic fields and by measuring how long the magnetic fields of nuclei in various parts of your body gyrate and take to settle back in alignment with the external field they can compute a picture.

When was Magnetic Fields - album - created?
Magnetic Fields - album - was created in 1981-05.
What tool does scientist use to find magnetic fields?
A magnetometer detects magnetic fields.
Can storage media be damaged by magnetic and electric fields?
Yes; if the storage is on magnetic media then that can be altered by magnetic and electric fields.
Can an electric field be compressed?
Electric fields are similar to magnetic fields, and can be "compressed" by the imposition of other electric or magnetic fields.
