Plant lectins are being studied for over a century. Until a decade ago, most information was obtained from biochemical, molecular, and structural studies of a reasonably high but still limited number of abundant lectins from seeds and vegetative storage organs.
Light therapy boxes should be designed to filter out harmful ultraviolet (UV) light, but some may not filter it all out. UV light can cause skin and eye damage. Look for a light therapy box that emits as little UV light as possible. If you have concerns about light therapy and your skin, talk to your dermatologist.
Infrared (IR) light is light with lower frequency (higher wavelength) than visible light. IR light has frequencies ranging from 3*1011 to 4*1014 Hz (300 GHz to 400 THz) and wavelengths from 7.5*10-7 m to 10-3 m (750 nm to 1 mm).
