When they themselves are hit, they spit once and ignore the player, but when the trader gets hit they pursue the player aggressively and don't stop spitting.
If the player leaves their radius (while they are on this 'aggressive mode') and comes back, they LOSE their ability to spit...? And now only run when you hit them and stop caring about the wandering trader
