The Castor Oil Plant - For Peter



Grows everywhere in Libya. Its seeds are bean sized, hard, multi-coloured and grow in spikey husks, like wee conkers. One process makes them into castor oil, another ricin. One seed if eaten can kill you, just a leaf will make you very poorly.

So if you brought this bugger back from Libya, f*uk's sake gan easy.
