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...

You will not get sick for 48 hours. Unfortunately, you must have a vaccine within 24 hours.

Correct....all reports on this point to vandalism (included in a spree on other sites, widows, mailboxes, etc.). This appears to be a precautionary measure to test the water quality.

18-24 hours and ingested is the delivery method of choice with it.

Whether is was done by middle eastern men or local high school kids, it's still terrorism. The point of terrorism is to terrify; I'm sure the consumers of that water ARE terrified.
