I have severe doubts about blood boiling. Pretty sure it's a myth.
Blood is encased in a pressurized bag namely your skin. Even if you are in a Vacuum I'm Quite sure your skin and tissues provide a significant amount of presurization.

According to NASA I am correct. Cheers to me and all the high altitude medical literature i have read over the years.
Yep internal body fluid and gas pressures are actually pretty high and have a lot to do with oxygen absorbtion and co2 diffusion. Knowing this i was pretty damn sure this was just another hollywood myth.
