ricine is a deadly poison made from castor beans...supposedly the most deadly of poisons.

Musab al-Zarqawi was perfecting it in Iraq when we liberated that sad country.

So...it is associated with terrorism.

I don't know what rinolic acid is. I'd guess another poison considering the ricine.

The crawl on the website lists ricin, ricine, and rinolic acid. Do they need a spell checker?

rinolic acid is a chemical term that tells you what has happened to the rinicin. Something like it is in an unsaturated fatty acid form.

rinolic acid
If u goog it u get a spelling correction 2 ricinoleic acid

Ricinoleic Acid, also called castor oil acid, belong to a family of the unsaturated fatty acid. It is a viscous yellow liquid, melting at 5.5 C and boiling at 245 C. It is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. It is prepared by the hydrolysis of Castor Oil. It is used in textile finishing, in coating, inks and in making soaps.

I tried goog the word + poison ingestion, etc but have to leave for church.

It does not seem to me that something used for the items above would be anything a person would want to ingest.

How in the world it ended up in baby food jars I'd like to know.

British police confiscated a bunch of ricin when they raided a jihadi's apartment last year. One cop was stabbed to death in the raid when they failed to cuff the suspects.

Not really. For example botolism toxin is 1000 times more deadly by weight. But ricin's still very nasty, and lethal in surprisingly small amounts. And if you've ingested or inhaled a deadly amount, there's no treatment or antidote or cure.
