TRAVEL-FRIENDLY THERMOMETER
Taking a person’s temperature while on the go can be tricky, especially with fussy, squirmy, or sleeping subjects. Watertown-based Exergen has released the Smart Glow TemporalScanner, an infrared thermometer that lets you take a temperature by gently sweeping it across a person’s forehead, capturing heat emitted by the temporal artery. It’s quiet, easy to use, and noninvasive. The thermometer has an easy-to-read backlighted display, remembers the last eight temperature readings, and is available at retailers such as Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, and Toys ‘R’ Us. $49.99. 800-422-3006, www.exergen.com http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/travel/2014/01/11/here-there-and-everywhere-seaside-culinary-classes-easy-use-thermometer/150l60Pd5kGADGo6GaOt6N/story.html
