Ricin found in Vegas hotel...

After reading this article: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/29/ricin.hotel/index.html?eref=rss_topstories all I can say is "Party Foul!" According to the authorities an unspecified quantity of "ricin" was found in a hotel room in Las Vegas. Ricin is a deadly toxin. As little as 500 micrograms -- an amount the size of the head of a pin -- can kill an adult. Symptoms of ricin poisoning include anything from difficulty breathing, fever, cough, nausea and sweating to severe vomiting and dehydration. At present it is not being treated as a terrorist incident, but where do these sick bastards come from?
