"wouldn't a mask reduce toxin loading?"A nerve agent is the most deadly substance on the face of the planet. The amount of agent needed to kill would just cover the head of a pin. Don't worry about toxin loading with a nerve agent.
About Ricin, I can't really answer that off the top of my head. I'd have to dig out my nbc school notes.

One would assume it (ricin) is 'bio', since its orgin is the castor bean. But I'd defer to you on that.
