Apparently the have found ricin, a rather nasty poison favored by terrorists, in a locker in the Paris Metro.

I don't love the French, but I don't wish for them to get hit either.
 
Did you know that it is a product of the castor bean family? Interesting isn't it?

Very recently a very cheap and easy to use antidote to stop the poison was discovered by some researchers by chance. I think they were doing cancer research.
