Spontaneous Human Retardation (or SHC) is a severe medical condition treatable only by an immense blazing inferno of death. Luckily for us, our immune system has developed over the years to be able to very quickly react to Spontaneous Human Combustion, so we generally have no reason to worry, as our white blood cells will create the necessary burning inferno of death and cure the condition without the need of other medical treatments, like costly placebos and vitamins. Your body is doing its part to save the economy!(which isn't worth saving)

- Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is a scientifically unsubstantiated hypothesis that suggests the burning of a person's body without an external source of ignition. Although there is much speculation and controversy over SHC, it is not a proven natural occurrence. In spite of this, many theories and hypotheses have attempted to explain SHC's existence and how it may occur, some grounded in current scientific understanding. The two most common explanations offered to account for apparent SHC are each discussed below: the non-spontaneous "wick effect" fire, and the rare discharge called "static flash fires".

| abstract
| - Spontaneous human combustion referred to cases where humans ignited without apparent reason. According to Mike Yates, it was ten times more likely to happen to UNIT soldiers than civilians. (PROSE: No Future) At some point during the 1890s, a spate of at least nine human combustions were reported in Victorian London. This case was pursued by the newly regenerated Twelfth Doctor and the Paternoster Gang after witnessing a tyrannosaurus rex the TARDIS had brought to London spontaneously combust. It was revealed to be the work of the Half-Face Man and his Clockwork Droids, who had their victims incinerated to mask the organ harvesting they performed. (TV: Deep Breath)

The murder victims of Wilson Pinker Rawls resembled SHC, as noted by Scully to the joyful chagrin of Mulder. (TXF: "Trevor")

- A person’s body inexplicably catches fire or explodes without the aid of any external ignition sources. There's often no warning and not much in the way of an explanation. A classic Urban Legend, hundreds of allegedly true accounts of this phenomenon have been reported for over centuries, the oldest known stories dating from as far back as the the mid 1600's, and thanks to the aura of mystery and strangeness surrounding these incidents, Spontaneous Human Combustion is an anomaly that some can’t help but try and find a valid explanation for. As such, works of fiction tend to explore this subject in a few ways. Comedic works, more often than not, tend to let such occurrences happen without a clear explanation of how it happened being given. On the other hand, more serious stories--especially Speculative Fiction works or strange tales about the paranormal--may reveal some kind of explanation and may even reveal an external cause (likely one that is pseudoscientific and even more bizarre than Spontaneous Human Combustion already is on its own--possibly involving anything from aliens or ghosts causing it, an uncontrolled Pyrokinetic ability, or something even weirder). See Also: Made of Explodium, Man On Fire. Not to be confused with Wreathed in Flames. Not actually the Inverse of the trope External Combustion. Examples of Spontaneous Human Combustion include:
