As you will note from the plot set out below, only about 17% of LWIR can penetrate as deep as 100 microns, and 60% is absorbed within 3 microns.
The near infrared (NIR) window lies just out of the human vision, as well as the Medium Wavelength IR (MWIR) window, and the Long Wavelength or Far Infrared (LWIR or FIR) window, although other animals may experience them.
