The seeds of the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis) contain ricin, a highly toxic compound. As little as 1-3 mg of ricin per kilogram of body weight can be lethal to humans if ingested, inhaled, or injected. This means that for an average adult, consuming just a few seeds can potentially be fatal. However, the actual amount required can vary based on individual factors and the method of exposure.
