What is it about stubbing a toe that makes us feel murderous?

It causes people who normally don’t cuss to snarl like a sailor.
I whacked my little toe on a corner coming into the living room. It is super painful. Ripped up part of a nail and somehow split the skin at the tip of my toe.
Rick saw me do it and innocently said, “Did you hurt yourself?”
I wanted to strangle him. Instead I snarled ”YES!” and stormed into the bathroom. I bled through the two band aids I put on to staunch the bleeding.
It’s like it’s a pain like no other, and the rage is such a universal reaction. Is it some sort of instinct?
