Remember when you had to "open wide" and sit with a glass tube sticking out from under your tongue for 5 minutes in order for your temperature to be taken – (I hope they remembered to wash it from the last sick person that had it under their tongue). What a carry on that was. It's ok, those days are long gone, because the fantastic Exergen Temporal Thermometer can take an accurate temperature reading by simply being passed across your forehead – now doesn't that sound more like it?
The first Exergen Temporal Thermometers were produced in 1999 and have proved to be very accurate, as well as causing much less distress or discomfort among patients, and Exergen Temporal Thermometer also produces much faster results. They are even self-disinfecting, how clever is that?
Other types of thermometer which can take a reading without being stuck in your mouth are a Forehead Thermometer. There are basically two types of Forehead Thermometers, the Exergen Temporal Thermometer (see above) and a strip type Forehead Thermometer which is the cheaper option. They are very handy to have in the home for babies, small children and the elderly.

Other types of modern, clever thermometers include Digital Infrared Thermometers. They have proved to be extremely useful in the home, in industry, the military and law enforcement agencies even have them, they can accurately measure temperatures from a distance away – the distance is determined by the D/S rating of each individual Digital Infrared Thermometer.
Handheld Infrared Thermometers are great fun! Of course they are useful in all sorts of situations too, mechanics use them, restaurants use them to measure the temperature of the food, scientists find them helpful, they're good for education and, as I've already said, they can be great fun. If you get your hands on a Handheld Infrared Thermometer you'll even be able to tell whether your food is hot enough, or which coat is the warmest! Infrared thermometers really have come a long way in a relatively short amount of time.
