I've known about castor plants for rodent control since I was very young. My maternal Grandparents would plant them every so many feet in the rows of root/tuber vegetables to kill voles and moles because they would eat the roots of the castor plant on their way to the turnips, carrots, rutabagas, etc. The plants were kept pruned to encourage more root growth, and cut down on seed pods.

I had a couple of geniuses in my class while I was in college. They were weighing castor beans in a biology class for an experiment on variation. The two of them decided to have a competition to see who could eat the most beans whole. The beans were also close to 20 years old, and had been stored alongside mercury. The two of them went up to the teacher at the end of the lesson to complain that they were feeling sick; after they admitted what they'd done, she had them rushed to hospital.

Jequirity aka rosary peas are a similar story - they contain abrin, a poison with similar chemical properties and just as deadly if not moreso. What's more is that accidental poisoning is common - like castor beans, dried rosary peas are often drilled and used as beads (hence the name) and they are so poisonous that inhaling the dust from this process can cause serious illness or death because it is really absorbed by the lungs

An update for anyone interested: we actually do have a potential treatment for ricin poisoning. According to the current literature, ricin is a protein that works in a bipartite fashion: chain A binds to the 28S subunit of the ribosome, enzymatically removing adenosine from the RNA. It also has a B chain that allows the protein to enter the cell. Currently, we have monoclonal antibodies that are able to bind to the A chain and prevent further damage from being done by the ricin. While it isn’t perfect (by the time it’s administered, many cells will have died), it’s very promising. Unfortunately, I have no idea if/when this would become stockpiled for a just-in-case emergency.

In India, it is used as oil for lamps, laxative and as oil for head bath. It also is used topically with betel leaves. Oiled betel leaves are heated on a pan and applied on the belly of children and infants to relieve colic pain. It is also used to make mascara. An oil lamp with extremely thick wick is lit and a copper pot filled with cold water is hung above it. The carbon black is collected with a silver rod and mixed with few drops of fresh castor oil. The secret of avoiding the toxicity of the oil is the harvesting time. The toxin varies with the phase and day of the moon. I now don't remember on which day it is lowest. So I won't write about it.

(The difference being the sheriff is an elected official and is the top dog of the whole county and a deputy is just one of his officers) He was well into his 80’s. He told me numerous crazy stories about how different the times were when he was a first voted in as sheriff in the 70’s. He spoke about things that he got away with and things he almost got caught for and different court cases he was able to help with for his friends around the county. Once I finished up we walked out to the front door and I asked him about this beautiful plant he had on the edge of his porch. He says- “oh you’d never imagine what that is. It’s a caster plant. You can pretty much boil it down and make ricin with it. I was given the plant in my early 20’s by a local fbi guy I used to drink with” I left there and my imagination didn’t stop running for a full week lol.

Never knew that it is poisonous. But it was once a common cultivation here in our place at Assam, India, to feed the silkworm. It is called "Endee" in our language and silkworm is called "Endee Emphou", worm that live on "Endee" and the cloth made of its thread is again called "Endee Si" cloth made by "Endee". One can esily guess how this plant was so much attached to us not as a poison but as a part of life :) .

I'm from the north eastern part of India in the state of Nagaland and it's basically the same here except we eat the worm as well (properly cooked of course) i also remember eating the seed of the plant during my early teens ending with a slight dizzyness and the taste was awful too..Never knew it was poisonous until now 😂
