Apparently, Doyle had combined red phosphorus and iodine, two chemicals used to make methamphetamine, in a film canister. He then stuck the canister in his pocket when the social workers showed up. "He didn't know what he was doing, and it started boiling on his leg," Stanfield said.
"Ooch! Ouch!"
"Hey! Put those back on! I'm a lady, y'know!" |
The reaction of the two chemicals heats up to about 278 degrees Fahrenheit before exploding, according to the Messenger.

"The state might have to destroy the vehicle," Stanfield said. "The car is contaminated now."
Sheriff's deputies found a meth lab on the premises and arrested Tammy Conley, 29, as well as Doyle, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The case workers were treated for minor injuries in LaFayette. Doyle was taken to Erlanger Medical Center in nearby Chattanooga, Tenn., with second- and third-degree burns to his testicles and leg.
"Hokey smokes! Hey, Nurse! Look at this!"
"My Gawd, Doctor! They look like fried oysters!" |
