"Ricin is poisonous if, inhaled, injected, or ingested, acting as a toxin by the inhibition of*protein synthesis. It is resistant, but not impervious, to digestion by peptidases"
"A dose as small as a few grains of table salt can kill an adult human."
" Because the symptoms are caused by failure to make protein, they emerge only after a variable delay from a few hours to a full day after exposure."
" An antidote has been developed by the U.S. military which has so far shown to be safe and effective when lab mice were injected with antibody-rich blood mixed with ricin, and has had some human testing. "
"Long term organ damage is likely in survivors. Ricin causes severe diarrhea and victims can*die*of*shock. Death typically occurs within 3–5 days of the initial exposure."
