Effects of Ricin on the Human Body

With the recent detection of ricin connected with Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker, there are concerns on what it does to the human body. Dr. Stephen Thornton, Medical Director of Poison Control with The University of Kansas Hospital, explains what ricin is and what effects it has on people.

"It's Walt, how are you feeling, kind of under the weather, like you got the flu? That would be the ricin I gave you, I slipped it in that Stevia crap your always putting in your tea, goodbye Lydia."

She didn't eat caster beans she ate a highly purified form which could kill her through ingestion

[whitedog]

Hilarious how 80% of viewers wanted to see if Lydia could have lived. (Including me…)

[MultiTHUNDER]

finally a video that explains it perfectly

Who came here after watching breaking bad?

[TD]

I love how everyone is talking about Lydia.

[snivy]

I'm surprised no one has thought to add it illicit drugs, since it's deadliest when inhaled or injected.

Imagine if Lydia, after that call, went through the internet to find a cure, only to find this...

[DreddPirateRoberts]

What's really interesting is it isn't that difficult to distill castor beans down to ricin.

[AnitaJobby]

Although nothing compare to the spores of Clostridium bottulinum in its concentrated form, still pretty deadly.

[yeee]

but lydia essentially just consumed it though the mouth, not through injection or inhaling...so technically she'd just get really sick, but not die?

who's here after watching BREAKING BAD
