Would your blood boil on Mars?

Question by Rob L: Would your blood boil on Mars?
I might be wrong here, but I was under the impression the atmospheric pressure on Mars was so low that water can not exist in its liquid state, and an unprotected human would literally have their blood boil if not inside a pressurized suit. Is this accurate?
Xandra: we have frozen water on Earth, too, in the coldest regions. The ice we've found on Mars is in Mars coldest regions. I'm thinking more like on the equator, where it can be up to 70 degrees.
