Fogging problems affect only high-speed infrared film.
Okay. Before I get any further, however, I should mention that I'm primarily dealing with Kodak HIE infrared film in this document.
Infrared Film
There are three black and white infrared films on the market today. Kodak's High Speed Infrared Film (HIE) has the highest IR sensitivity of the three films but sacrifices Grain size as the grain is very large.
INFRARED FILM - Photographic film that is sensitive to infrared radiation.
Infrared Film: A black and white or colour film that is sensitive to infrared radiation, which is invisible to the human eye.
Infrared Films
Okay, I thought that the info on infrared films needed some updating. Konica IR film is no longer available.
Infrared film comes in both color and black and white variations. The black and white takes some special handling, and requires the use of a 25A dark red filter. It is unrated as far as speed, but I've found about 200 ASA works pretty well.
Color Infrared Film: Still the real deal
Shocking colors! Funky flora! Invisible objects uncloaked! Welcome to the wild world of color infrared film. Yes, film.

[edit] Color infrared film
An example of color infrared.
Color infrared transparency films have three sensitized layers that, because of the way the dyes are coupled to these layers, reproduce infrared as red, red as green, and green as blue.
Cross-processing, infrared film, solarization and turbo filters--each had its time. As technology evolved, creativity nipped its heels to grab the pieces that produced unique imagery.
Black-and-White Infrared Copying with black-and-white infrared films and infrared radiation can help in deciphering old, charred, or altered documents.
Infrared film when used with a 25A red filter turns the sky black and makes leaves on trees and blades of grass into a glowing white. This is difficult film to use, but the results are very exciting.
Other unusual stocks include Kodak’s Infrared film, and Ilford’s SFX 200, which features an extended red range that gives an infrared “look' without the hassle.
An index on a camera lens used to compensate focusing using infrared film. With most lenses, the plane of sharpness for infrared film is slightly farther away than for normal visible-light photography.

Infrared film: A film sensitive to infrared radiation. Used for experimental photography.
IR setting: Special focus setting, marked in red, for infrared photography. Infrared radiation are focused further from the lens than visible light.
I like the grain, it gives the pic a infrared film grain effect from back when film was cool. nice treatment!

-Infrared compensation index - used to compensate the focus for black and white infrared film. Color IR film generally does not require compensation.
-Infrared focus - see IR setting.
In this example, you can see what the full Infrared Film filter does to the image. Applying a Control Point results in an image that combines the original with the filter in an interesting way.

A portion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum to which the human eye is not sensitive but which can be used with infrared film and Filter to record images of unusual tonal balance. Infrared rays produce heat when they strike objects. See: Heat Filter.
Infrared Compensation Index In infrared photography with most lenses, the plane of sharpest focus is slightly farther away than that in visible-light photography. Infrared Film Specially sensitized film that detects invisible infrared rays.
Film cameras can work without batteries.
Film is harder to manipulate than digital images, ensuring the integrity of the original images.
Some film types (infrared film, for example) have no digital counterpart.
film should be safe, but checked baggage is subjected to much higher levels of x-rays. Rule number one then is to not put unprocessed film in your checked bags. This includes cameras that have film in them of course. High-speed and infrared film may ...
Infrared Infrared film is an entirely different film. It captures infrared light. This film produces very eerie looking black and white photographs that don't look quite right. (For example the sky is dark and plants are lighter colors) ...
