Dr. YK Gupta, the former Chief of the AIIMS National Poison Information Centre, warned that Ricin is extremely toxic and even a small amount, as little as 1 milligram, can be dangerous.
He emphasised that there is no specific antidote for Ricin, and it is still considered an agent of biological terrorism today.
