It increases the vibration of chemical bonds.
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy

Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
The energy of gamma radiation is much higher than the energy of infrared radiation. You are emitting infrared radiation, but gamma radiation is very harmful to living tissue.
Heat, or Infrared energy.
Infrared waves produce heat when the interact with normal matter, so most people would say they carry heat. In fact, infrared radiation is electromagnetic energy, as are ultraviolet, visible light, radio waves and others.
Visible light heats the earth and the earth emits infrared energy which is absorbed by green house gases that trap the heat.
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
Infrared light doesn't "give off" energy; in this case, it IS the energy.

You are made from matter, and therefore would not be able to detect energy without it having an effect on you. Energy is defined as the capacity for doing work. Without work ever being done on matter, and without energy ever being defined this way, energy would not be detected.
All physics deals with energy and matter. In effect that is almost a complete definition of what Physics IS.
Infrared Radiation is at a Frequency that is outside of the range of the Visible Spectrum. Visible light does not 'become' Infrared Light. If a light source is giving off energy in the form of HEAT it is emitting Infrared Energy, as well as Visible Light. A light source can also "Heat" matter by giving off energy such as X-Rays, or Gamma Rays, or more commonly MICROWAVE Radiation.
electromagnetic radiation in the infrared band
Infrared is heat energy and heat energy can seriously hurt because it can burn
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
The danger is, if the infrared is trapped by atmospheric gases it can cause greenhouse effect.
