The Guardian out of UK reports:

Ricin is 500 times stronger than cobra venom and 1,500 times more deadly than cyanide. The equivalent of a grain of salt would be enough to kill an adult, and a fatal dose takes around three days to kill the person affected.

Ricin-related symptoms include fever and nausea, which progresses to severe abdominal pains and fits. Victims die from multiple organ failure and there is no known antidote or vaccine.

Sounds like Flu symptoms to me..But no reports of multiple organ failure YET with the deaths in VA.

"Ricin-related symptoms include fever and nausea, which progresses to severe abdominal pains and fits. Victims die from multiple organ failure and there is no known antidote or vaccine."

There is a cure for Ricin poisening. You remove the source of the poisen and become healthy again. Ricin is a toxin derived from the castor plant. It is not a diease.

The World War I pilots usually looked like and felt like death after several months of flying. It was ricin build up in thier blood from breathing the burning castor oil that was used to lubricate their engines. They were actually smoking ricin. The silk scarves wrapped around their faces were to filter out some of the smoke.

No fits (seizures) either, that I know of.
