the faster an atom moves the hotter it is. and like wise the more the heat something the faster the atoms move.
Easy way to see this is to put an ice cube in a pan on your stove. As you heat it up the molecules start to move faster, you can see this by the ice melting into water, if you keep heating it you'll see steam which is the water converting into a gas.

What would happen to your body if you detect too much infrared radiation?
infra-red radiation only heats things up, so you wouldn't get any specific damage apart from burns
