The castor bean plant, Ricinus communis, contains two toxins that are poisonous to people, animals, and insects. The main toxic protein, ricin, is so potent that a single milligram may be sufficient to kill a human adult. Ricin is considered both a chemical and biological weapon and is explicitly prohibited by the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) and Schedule 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Ricin works its harm by destroying small parts of cells, called ribosomes. Ribosomes produce all of the proteins needed by a cell. If the proteins cannot be produced, the cell dies. Although the effects of ricin ingestion may be felt within a few hours (abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting), it is a slow-acting poison, with death occurring after 1-3 days. A victim who survives the severe dehydration and lowered blood pressure of advanced ricin poisoning will generally recover. The other toxic protein in the castor bean, RCA (Ricinus communis agglutinin), agglutinates red blood cells. In other words, injection of RCA into the bloodstream essentially causes a person's blood to coagulate. Ingestion of a castor bean or its products will release ricin, but the RCA cannot cross the intestinal wall. Castor oil and products made from castor oil contain very little ricin or RCA. However, castor beans are grown for ornamental purposes, too. The seeds from the garden plant present a poisoning hazard to children and pets. Dehydration and vomiting are more dangerous for children than adults, so ingestion of a single castor bean seed may be fatal for a child. However, if the seed is ingested whole, there is a chance that it may pass through the gastrointestinal system without releasing its ricin. Purified ricin and RCA are of considerable concern as weapons for several reasons. First, castor bean seeds are readily obtainable. Second, several routes of exposure are possible (for ricin: inhalation, injection, or ingestion). Once the proteins are purified, the powdered toxin can be used to contaminate food or beverages. Ricin is heat-stable, so it can be applied to shrapnel within an explosive device. Possibly the greatest concern about ricin used as a weapon is that symptoms of poisoning can readily misdiagnosed. At present, therapy for ricin poisoning consists of replacing fluids and treating the symptoms of poisoning, but research is underway to develop a vaccine for the toxin. Also, testing is underway for a new drug, using an inactivated form of the ricin protein, to treat individuals following exposure.

Got pics from the other Trail Cam in the Swamp also but havn't posted any of those .........

I got to the trail cams and posted some pics from The Swamp Camera

Camera is in a shady area facing South West . When I opened it up , there were tiny ants in it . Still taking pics though .

Welcome to Hunting NY .........

I have used the screw in steps and don't care for them . They can move on you . It wouldn't take much for the rails that get strapped to the tree to disappear via a thief .

Lookin' good !

Look on Craigs List or garage sales for extension ladders . Some are pretty cheap and a couple cans of cheap paint will camo them .

He played a real SOB as the warden in the movie "The Last Castle" .

If I had a flat bottom boat handy , I would give it a try .

With all the rain the swamp in Walworth has overflowed and I cannot get to my cameras . Bummer !

If you tell a joke in the forest and no one is there to hear it , is it still a joke ?

Sorry to hear the bad news . Are you in Caledonia ?

Great speech ! The guy behind him with the little girl was in tears .

If it wasn't for bad luck , I wouldn't have any luck at all !

I had some arrows cut wrong once and decided -- never again . I decided to make my own arrow cut-off saw . Bought a small table top saw at Harbor Freight for $26 and used some scrap lumber / boards laying around and I was all set . I posted it on the DIY forum some time ago .

You can handle his body parts but I won't !

Why don't they make the whole plane out of that Black Box stuff ?

If you are in a spaceship traveling at the speed of light , and you turn on the headlights , does anything happen ?

What are you supposed to add to "powdered water" ?

Note : Don't drink while installing Garage Door Openers !

I think Culver has it ...... it's the limit switch if the door closes when disconnected .

Why does your nose run and your feet smell ? Hmmmmmmm !

Chumleyhunts ---- I read something similar in a hunting magazine a while back . It mentioned that some shooters would weigh down a lead sled so much that the rifle blast would crack a stock on recoil as the recoil had to go someplace . " For every action , there is an opposite and equal reaction " .
