If the film canister he used was made of aluminum, it was a red phosphorus, iodine, and aluminum reaction.

Aluminum is used in thermite, also in the solid rocket fuel (including that used in the Shuttle solid boosters).

Gives new meaning to the old adage

Speed Kills!

and before that happens you lose your teeth, became emaciated, lose your sexual drive (unless its to score some speed), and your body becomes dotted with boils and scabs from the toxins trying to escape your pathetic body.

Yeah, but good times, right?

Red Phosphorus is highly reactive to oxygen. Iodine captures electrons well. Iodine promotes Phosphorus reactivity with oxygen.

Phosphorus is normally stored in oil, which is not generally reactive with oxygen unless in the presence of a reactant (Iodine).

Once the phosphorus starts to burn, the oil will ignite. If any sulphur is present, the Iodine will react with the sulphur and when dry, create a contact explosive, which could ignite with any jostle or static electricty.

Neat trick with asbestos underwear.

That's what happens when you don't read your MSDS (Material Safety Data) sheet.
