RICIN POISONING

  • Unique Paper ID: 169036
  • PageNo: 196-198
  • Abstract:
  • The tremendous toxicity of ricin makes it one of the most potent poisons in the world. It comes from the seeds of the Ricinus Communis plant, which produces castor beans. Another name for ricin is a possible bioterror agent that people might be exposed to through food, water, and air. One of the strongest and most deadly drugs is ricin, especially when breathed. Ricin causes organ failure and cell death by preventing cells from synthesizing proteins. Inhalation and injection are the most dangerous methods of exposure because oral absorption is poor and intact skin absorption is improbable. Its toxicity primarily harms reticuloendothelial system cells, causing bleeding, loss of fluids and protein, and compromised cellular defenses against endogenous toxins.
