Under Strain And Lifeform Scan Concealing Mud

In Under Strain, the second Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing in early May), Kamyelle, the human heroine, conceals herself from lifeform scans by slathering herself with Rohini 9’s unique mud.
A thick coating of mud can reduce our body temperatures here on Earth. Elephants coat themselves with mud to cool themselves and to protect themselves from the sun’s rays.
Mud also contains minerals and other components. On Earth, Mylar foil should block infrared thermal imaging. Heck, simple aluminum foil reduces infrared radiation (which is, I suspect, why some alien enthusiasts wear tinfoil hats).
The lifeform scanners the cyborgs use are much more advanced than mere infrared thermal imaging but it is logical that there WILL be mud somewhere in the universe the scanners can’t penetrate.
One of those places is Rohini 9.
