Well the good part is that anthrax can get into you with just a few airborne spores. Ricin needs a reasonable amount injested, is it 300mg or so? I doubt highly you could inhale that much even if it's floating around, unless it's a full vaporized attack.

I dunno. Bio expert on FNC was saying that inhaling it causes pulmonary edema and death within hours. No cure.
If it's mixed in a solution and gets on the skin that's bad too.
Ingesting it, he said, caused severe diarrhea but not necessarily death.
