The sheer hubris of actually touching it repeatedly. There is no way to know how it could react to outside bacteria and whatever else is on him. He might have just killed the entire thing just to get his Tik Tok video.

Not gonna lie, I thought this was going in a different direction. Like, the hubris, it could have reacted by swarming him like he was food to a hungry, sentient blob of nightmares.

Just being there and breathing probably releases more bacteria than just touching it
