ADVERTISEMENTS

First news of 40,000 exposed to Hepatitis in Vegas and now authorities are reporting discovering what appears to be Ricin in a hotel. What's up in Vegas?

According to Yahoo News, Ricin is made from the waste left over from processing castor beans, and can be extremely lethal. As little as 500 micrograms, or about the size of the head of a pin, can kill a human, according to the CDC.
