Castor Bean Plants are Dangerous

The deadliest plant in the world is the castor bean plant. It is estimated that the protein, ricin, found in the castor bean plant is as much as 6,000 times more poisonous than cyanide. BE CAREFUL handling this plant.

Melmarr, You can get dozens of pics if you google it, but it looks like a cross between a pot plant and Russian hogweed if you've ever seen either of those. I grew up in Florida and it's a wonder any of us kids ever survived because we had castor bean plants everywhere. We even played with the beans, which look something like a big fat tick.

And if castor bean plants weren't dangerous enough, we also had oleander bushes too.

After a day of playing with poisonous plants, we'd chase after the mosquito fogger trucks that sprayed the neighborhoods with DDT or some other toxic stuff. Sheesh, growing up in Fla. is not for the faint-hearted.
