Considering that it's possible to levitate a live frog with a (very strong) magnet without killing it, I'm able to believe that a sufficiently strong magnetic field can be detectable by a human without killing or immediately, obviously harming them.

This is an electrostatic field, which has no magnetic component in the classical model.

And more practically is likely to be detected, when approaching it casually, by discharging it through the closest body part.
