Invisible Volatile Plants

I don't know if anyone else has run into this issue, but I think the volatile plant modifier is bugged. After I kill an enemy with the modifier, I wait a little and then pick up the loot and then bam, I get one shot by an invisible volatile plant projectile. I am not sure what is going on but too many times I get killed by an invisible explosion. I love this game but it's getting very annoying. It's making the grind extremely painful in a way it shouldn't be. I know this is early access but I feel like this needs to be fixed as soon as possible. It makes me hate facing any rare enemy with that modifier.
