Description
Ricin grains
Ricin works by getting inside the cells of a
person’s body and preventing the cells from making the proteins they
need. Without the proteins, cells die. Eventually this is harmful to the
whole body, and death may occur.
In the 1940s the U.S. military experimented with using ricin as a
possible warfare agent. In some reports ricin has possibly been used as a
warfare agent in the 1980s in Iraq and more recently by terrorist
organizations.
