I've used IR thermometers for years and no, they never read body temperature as 98. They also don't like some reflective or shiny surfaces, there are reflectivity adjustment factors.
But, for seeing if a wheel bearing is getting hot, surface tire temperatures, finding which cylinder isn't firing, which cooling valve isn't opening, etc., they are great, but get a good one. I have a Cole Parmer
Even better is a FLIR device, then you can find bad electrical connections, overheating motors, hot bearings, etc.
