The only radiation which is important when considering 1,25-D generation is radiation that carries considerable energy with it. For a given intensity of radiation, UV is the most energetic. The energy falls off with increasing wavelength (towards visible and IR). There still is enough energy for individuals with Th1 disease to sense, and be affected by, in hot plates and direct-radiation saunas, but lower intensities of IR energy do not cause any problems. The important characteristic of IR energy is that it cannot be seen. | The only radiation which is important when considering 1,25-D generation is radiation that carries considerable energy with it.

- | The production of 1,25-D by the skin has very little to do with UV and everything to do with energy of the incident radiation. One study demonstrated that blocking ultraviolet-B rays did not reduce the production of 1,25-D in the skin.(({{pubmed> | + | The production of 1,25-D by the skin has very little to do with UV and everything to do with energy of the incident radiation.
