Castor bean poisoning
Castor bean, commonly known as hemp seed, is the fruit of castor bean, an oil crop. The whole castor plant is poisonous, and its toxic components are ricin and ricinine. 2mg of ricin and 0.16g of ricin can kill an adult. Children can die if they take 3 to 5 raw castor beans. Ricin and ricin can be destroyed and detoxified after heating. Ricin bean toxin is a cytoplasmic poison that can damage solid organs such as the liver and kidneys, and has the effect of agglutinating and dissolving red blood cells, and can also paralyze the respiratory and vasomotor centers.
