TheWoWDBTip: if you stand at the very edge of the little hill near the cauldron, you can boil your blood out of range of the scarabs that spawn.

A good way to escape from the bugs is just run up the hill right when you boil the blood. Wait for them to despawn then go do it again. It takes about 5-10 seconds for them to despawn.

Description
That last experiment was not a complete loss -- I did save a small bit of the blood you brought me. Now boiled down, it should be free of whatever curses the Bleeding Hollow witches placed on their people's blood. I need more for study. Go gather Bleeding Hollow blood from the orcs in Zeth'Gor. When you've gathered the blood, bring it to their cursed cauldron and boil it. Bring me the boiled blood.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spinebreaker Post
<name>, my equipment here is, unfortunately, not configured for all the tests I'd like to perform. However, my colleague at Spinebreaker Post, Apothecary Albreck, possesses the required implements. I have acquired a sample of Bleeding Hollow blood -- gained from a past mission of Thrallmar's agents.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Apothecary Antonivich
<name>, I have prepared a preliminary report of my findings regarding the Bleeding Hollow orcs. My colleague in Thrallmar, Apothecary Antonivich, will be happy to receive them. He too studies the phenomenon of fel orcs... in hopes of preventing such a tragedy from again befalling our orcish allies.
