Self inflicted poison bug (curse?)

I use The Golden rule and can apply 100 poison stacks on myself.

Whenever I do this without the gloves, I have constantly full hp.

Whenever I equip the gloves, I die in one second.

The Gloves:

Item Class: Gloves
Rarity: Unique
Asenath's Gentle Touch
Silk Gloves
--------
Quality: +20% (augmented)
Energy Shield: 23 (augmented)

+66 to maximum Life
+63 to maximum Mana
Curse Enemies with Temporal Chains on Hit
Non-Aura Curses you inflict are not removed from Dying Enemies
Enemies near corpses affected by your Curses are Blinded
Enemies Killed near corpses affected by your Curses explode, dealing
3% of their Life as Physical Damage
--------
Cool the head and cool the blade.
--------
Corrupted

EDIT: It seems like it has something to do with proximity of the cursed corpses. Even though I use Mageblood with a 61% reduced curse effect flask and 94% increased effect.

Enemies are dying from Herald of Agony poisons which is being attributed to an enemy you kill instead of the Herald. The weird, but intended, part is that you are exploding the corpses, causing a very big poison, which is then being inflicted back on you by Golden Rule.

If you want to use the gloves for curse/corpse explosion and self poison for Golden Rule, your only option is unaffected by poison helm, watcher's eye, or elevated boots.
