Castor Bean/Ricin + Rosary Pea/Abrin

Becca, here! This episode, we discuss where the deadly poison ricin comes from, as well as how it has been used historically and (of course) criminally. For some reason, there has been the occasional ricin in the mail incident and of course we'll discuss those, as well as other terroristic/killer intentions (and spies! we can't leave out spies in this case). We also talk about Abrin (a similar poison) bc no one talks about it much and I imagine that would hurt its feelings (FOMO anyone?). Also, we mention Breaking Bad...and I do my best to pronounce the names of locations and such. Happy listening!
