"Ricin toxin is a bioterror threat that is extremely deadly in small doses and can lead to lung damage and general organ failure leading to death within several days. Evidence is mounting that al Qaeda is experimenting with manufacturing ricin for the purposes of using it as a bioterror weapon. There are currently no vaccines available to prevent ricin poisoning or medical treatments to care for poisoning victims. Ricin can be easily produced, is stable over long periods of time, is toxic by several routes of exposure and thus has the potential to be used as a biological weapon against military and civilian targets."
