I did not see this story posted earlier today, so hopefully it is still of interest to FReepers.

Does Ricin work effectively in water? How long does it take for the sypmtoms of Ricin poisoning to show?

But I'm thinking this is probably not terrorist related...

Authorities believe that the break-in happened over the weekend but officials did not announce the incident until late Monday night. The Volusia County Health Department is testing the water but are not sure if any water tampering took place.

Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

That's probably because they DIDN'T KNOW it happened till someone got to work Monday.

So much for homeland security. Sheesh.

Why is it going to take a few days to test the water? As someone who has groundwater tested for polluting chemicals, I can tell you that if need be, you can have results back by the next day. In the meantime, everyone has to use bottled water for a few days.
