                Ricin  Poison:  It  is  naturally  produced  by  castor  plants,  and  it  acts  as  a

                natural  pesticide  for  plants.  It  can  be  used  in  the  form  of  pellets,  powder,
                dissolved  in  water,  or  as  a  weak  acid.  Death  can  occur  36–72  hours  after

                ingestion or exposure to it. A 0.2-milligram dose was used to kill Markov.
