    Do they flare up more intensely than whatever the rest of the body is made out of or is there some kind of thing to prevent the magnesium from burning as hot as it does?

        Li-ion batteries are fun. One of my favourite wound repairs was a guy who modified his nicotine vape with high powered batteries and then stuck it in his back pocket. He was drunk and fell asleep, it activated and either cooked off or shorted or something, and it blew up against his ass and scrotum. Because it was lithium, it kept blowing up until either they got his pants off or it burned through his pants. Because it was a remote hospital on an island that covered a large area, we received the helicopter about six hours after the injury and I got to spend a good two hours removing tissue and picking shrapnel out of a partial/full-thickness burn across all the nope spots.
