April 17, 201313 yr Poisoned mail intercepted in Washington D.C.: Envelope tests positive for ricin at Washington mail facility - CNN.com
April 17, 201313 yr 411 on Ricin: Ricin (pron.: /ˈraɪsɪn/), from the castor oil plant Ricinus communis, is a highly toxic, naturally occurring protein. A dose as small as a few grains of table salt can kill an adult human. The LD50 of ricin is around 22 micrograms per kilogram (1.78 mg for an average adult, around 1⁄228 of a standard aspirin tablet/0.4 g gross) in humans if exposure is from injection or inhalation.[1] Oral exposure to ricin is far less toxic and a lethal dose can be up to 20–30 milligrams per kilogram.
April 17, 201313 yr I guess BGP has anti-spellcheck working tonight. Poisoned mail can lead to poisoned male---so it's all the same. :lol2:
April 17, 201313 yr I guess BGP has anti-spellcheck working tonight. I'm LOL at that thread title. It has been a long day, but I'll plead guilty. Thankfully, there was no poisoned "male."

April 17, 201313 yr This is all so very similar to the 9/11 and Anthrax scare from 2001. Hopefully there will not be a random sniper driving around taking pot shots at people too.
