I ran out of gas on the way home once. Fortunately I was only about 200 yards from the driveway and it was downhill.
Funky with the oil?
Forensic scientists don't like it to get out (so here I am blabbing on an open forum, d'oh!) but it also happens to be one of the few mostly untraceable ways to poison somebody. There's conflicting information about this but I have a Brigadier General friend who mentioned it to me because he knew assassins who'd use it for that reason; because it was hard to prove the mark had been poisoned, let alone who'd done it. Ricin exits the body in the fecal matter, leaving hardly a trace amount behind, after having caused internal bleeding.off topic a little but, castor beans also make ricin.
ricin can be made by the waste of castor oil production.
the amount equivalent as 2 grains of salt will kill.
no worries. i thought it was general knowledge about ricin since georgi markov got poisoned by being stuck by a loaded umbrella back in the late 70's.Forensic scientists don't like it to get out (so here I am blabbing on an open forum, d'oh!) but it also happens to be one of the few mostly untraceable ways to poison somebody.
lol.Thanks Mr. White!
Good news!Castor beans are illegal to import and/or possess in the USA just because of the potential to extract ricin. Ricin is classified as a schedule 1 drug-same schedule as heroin.
