Talk about a headache.
When Mount Vesuvius erupted, the explosion caused such extreme heat that victims' skulls exploded, their blood boiled and their muscles, flesh and brains were replaced with ash, according to a new study.
"New investigations on the victims' skeletons unearthed from the ash deposit filling 12 waterfront chambers have now revealed widespread preservation of atypical red and black mineral residues encrusting the bones, which also impregnate the ash filling the intracranial cavity and the ash-bed encasing the skeletons," the study's abstract reads.

We had one with Mount St. Helens’ pyroclastic eruption back in 1980. But that was in the Northwest. Much of the Pacific Northwest is on the Ring of Fire too; lots of other volcanoes there that could blow at any time, particularly Mount Hood, Mount Rainier and Mount Baker. Mount Lassen in California last erupted in 1915.
IIRC, the Watchung Mountains in NJ are of volcanic origin, with several old lava flows visible, but haven’t erupted in many millennia. If the Ramapo Fault becomes more active, anything could happen there, though.

Doesn’t sound like much fun....
Well, duh. What else would you expect to happen when the human body is superheated?
Blood boiling and skull exploding is far quicker than being eaten alive by bears.
That's some major climate change.....
