The damage done by Blood of Acid to the opposing minion is environmental,
since Blood of Acid is not a strike and doesn't have text specifying that
the damage is considered to have come from either minion.
Skin of Steel and Flak Jacket are ineffective vs. this damage.

Thus, it wouldn't count for Pulled Fangs et.al., correct?

As you say, BoA works with damage done by strikes not environmental
damage so no, the damage doesn't keep adding up in an infinite loop.

Quite right. If, as LSJ's post said, the damage is environmental,
Blood of Acid by minion A doesn't increase damage done by Blood of
Acid by minion B, and vice versa.

The text of Blood of Acid indicates that it is NOT a strike and is only
usable at close range _before_ strikes are chosen. Blood of Acid should
be considered environmental damage and doesn't any looping damage
effect.
