Looks like a tick
I would guess it's been injected either with the stuff you see exploding, or something that makes blood behave like that, possibly some for of coagulant or something similar.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

It's hydrogen peroxide.

[Anonymous No.5810520]

>The reason why it foams is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase. Since a cut or scrape contains both blood and damaged cells, there is lots of catalase floating around.

>When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2).

>Catalase does this extremely efficiently -- up to 200,000 reactions per second. The bubbles you see in the foam are pure oxygen bubbles being created by the catalase. Try putting a little hydrogen peroxide on a cut potato and it will do the same thing for the same reason -- catalase in the damaged potato cells reacts with the hydrogen peroxide.

>mfw the tick is boiling from the inside out as its own enzymes turn the injected liquid into a foaming mess that explodes out of every orifice it can find

[Anonymous No.5810527]

>>5810520
It's a blood-filled tick, so most of the catalase is coming from the blood it stole from someone. Maybe that's even better poetic justice.

Where the fuck do you live that ticks on people are that common?

[Anonymous No.5810594]

>>5810586
I'm not that guy, but when I lived in New Jersey, it was pretty much a guarantee that you'd have at least one tick on you if you spent more than five minutes within ten feet of the treeline.

[Anonymous No.5810639]

>>5810594
What sort of animals do you have in New Jersey?
UKfag here, and I've always been taught ticks are really dangerous - Deer can safely carry the bacteria (Borrelia afzelii) which cause lyme disease, and most ticks will have fed off a deer at some point.
Being fed on by a tick carrying the disease pretty much guarantees you'll catch it; and it's pretty nasty. I'd be terrified to go anywhere near a tree if they're that common. D:

[Anonymous No.5810646]

>>5810520
So enough hydrogen peroxide might do a less impressive, but still painful version of that to a human?

[Anonymous No.5810650]

>>5810639
There's deer EVERYWHERE. You have no idea how terrifying it is driving on back-roads around the time of year when they're really active.

However, as long as you're diligent, they're not too much of a problem. You check for ticks as soon as you come in, and usually you can find them before they've actually latched on, and even if they do bite you, I believe the proportion of ticks which are actually diseased is low enough that you're not guaranteed to be infected.

And if you keep an eye out for symptoms, you can get treatment in case you do actually get infected.

If you inject it straight into a blood vessel, yes. But most liquids you inject directly into a blood vessel are going to be fairly painful if not lethal.

Ah, it must just be the UK that has such a large number of infected ticks I guess.
Still, the fear's been drilled into me since I was a kid. I panic every time I see one of the disgusting little fucks.
IIRC, there's something like 2000 reported cases of lyme disease from tick bites per annum in the UK.

Oh! This totally happened to me once!

So I used to occasionally use hydrogen peroxide as mouth wash ( store stuff is like 3% peroxide, and then I'd dilute it further so its safe ). One time I had a cut in my mouth and I did it and my mouth fucking exploded like that. Really surprised me since it never happens otherwise.

>The combination of organic material (cured fiberglass resin-a hydrocarbon compound) and metal chips provides a matrix which has the capacity to attract and capture orgone energy as Wilhelm Reich's research demonstrated in the 1930's/40's and discussed in Reich's book, The Cancer Biopathy. Adding a crystal intensifies that process and allows you the opportunity to 'program' the crystal with your mind (and intentions) to direct that energy towards a specific task or goal. A developer of Radionic devices found that combining fiberglass resin with metal particles produced the orgone attractive-repulsive effect described by Wilhelm Reich and he dubbed this mixture "orgonite". I prefer to use the term "metal/resin matrix" to define the material more concisely. Carol Croft noticed that the human aura expanded when in close proximity to the metal/resin matrix and this led to the idea of adding this matrix to a Hulda Clark type zapper circuit which was termed the Terminator. I found that replacing the copper penny electrodes in the original Terminator with pure silver discs would produce much less irritation and reddening of the skin. I call my spin-off variation The Mini Silver Terminator.

Because that isn't coagulated blood, it's foam of hydrogen and oxygen. The catalase enzyme in blood catalyzed the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

[Anonymous No.5811471]

I never knew hydrogen peroxide reacted with blood like this. Never seen anything like this before, but I had a dream once that I had a bad pimple that i picked at and couldn't get out, so I put hydrogen peroxide and it tons of blood bubbles poured out of my face, but the pimple came out too
