I find that the Medkit as well as the First Aid Kit can possibly start up the critical damage from splicer gas. Other times it may be due to camping, or just random. You usually have to run far away from the indicatated area and stay away from there for a good 20 seconds.

Another theory is the stacking of gas of the Bombing Splicer, and getting hit a few times.

At this time I don't know the source of the critical hit toxic aura.
