Uhhhhhh, well Nitroglycerin (which is _not_ related to TNT) doesn't
explode until 218C, so your safe on the heat part. The KY (jelly I'll
assume) is primarily water based and shouldn't react with it, as it made
to _not_ react with anything, thus its use w/the human body. The
concusive effects, considering the small amount you would be able to
dissolve in the jelly, I doubt much of anything would happen as far as an
explosion, however, it is quite toxic to the human body. Some symptoms
caused by poisoning(get ready):nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps,
headache, mental confusion, delirium, paralysis, convulsions, circulatory
collapse, and the funnest of all, death. Alcohol aggrivates the symptoms
and it can be caused by injestion, injection or absorption through the
skin. Don't forget the skin rash. They ain't gonna like it.
