Ricin

Shouldn't ricin be mentioned in the text? Badagnani (talk) 23:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

An excellent question. Although they both come from the same substance, castor oil, it's not clear whether one contains the other or anything else.

Here's one discussion: http://www.thepoisongarden.co.uk/blog2/blog040812.php

Another: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18080873

"Castor oil does not contain ricin because ricin does not partition into the oil."
