Logbook Entry
ARDA Briefing, recorded August 11th, 1966.
So. I don't know how to explain this yet, but these aren't really fissures. At least, they aren't fissures leading down into the earth. Not into the crust. Not into our crust.
We sent sixteen cameras and three rovers. We have about an hour of usable footage, all said. We're still crunching the data. Still, it seems that these things are venting from somewhere else. They're essentially some kind of exhaust pipe for a different place.
They're venting exactly the same air we breathe every day, right down to the same pollutants, the same levels of humidity, even the same pollen sometimes, along with all the other corrosives they vomit. But all this? It's not coming out of the ground. No, these things aren't leading down into the earth. It's like they're expelled out of somewhere else. Where? Well, beyond a few feet, the pressure is so high it's been difficult to probe further, so exploration has been impossible, though that pressure gradient tapers off remarkably fast. Honestly, at this stage, we have even more questions than answers. And I don't like those questions.

Synopsis
Sick Mickeys are the largest of the acid-spewing Anomalies. They behave exactly as Belching Barnacles do, frequently throwing up Rotten Eggs into their vicinity.
Counter
The easiest way to protect against the negative effects of a Sick Mickey is to simply avoid it. If you must drive in the vicinity of a Sick Mickey, spend as little time around it as possible (preferably in its inactive state) and take care not to touch any falling Rotten Eggs. Anticorrosive panels, doors and bumpers can reduce the damage taken if you hit one as well as the LIM Shield.
Junction Conditions
These anomalies will cause more damage to the car when a junction has the 
Dense Acid and 
Virulent Acid conditions.
