Noozeyeguy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Man critical after ricin find in Vegas2 hours, 15 minutes ago Police say a man is in critical condition after the deadly toxin ricin was found in his Las Vegas motel room. Las Vegas police Lt. Lewis Roberts says the man has been in a coma since he was found in his room at the Extended Stay America Motel on Thursday. He's one of seven people hospitalized after the ricin was discovered. Police have said most were examined as a precaution. Roberts says police don't think foul play is involved, and the FBI says the case doesn't appear to be terrorism-related. But authorities aren't sure why the man had a vial of powdered ricin in his room. Ricin is made from processing castor beans, and can be extremely lethal. Okay... WTF?

dinicolady Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Takes only .2 mg to kill a person if ingested. News said something like 6000 times stronger than cyanide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
