You have rated this. About the Drink. Tizer is a red fizzy drink made by Barr (the makers of Irn Bru) from Scotland. The drink was first made in 1924 by Fred Pickup of Manchester when it was known as âPickupâs Appetizerâ and was eventually sold to Irn Bru in 1972 for Â£2.5 million.ut then they changed it to the tizer we have nowadays. It now tastes disgusting and leaves a horrible feeling in your throat. Iâm 18, Iâve still got along time ahead of me to see the old tizer maybe return one day. It was my favourite pop of all time.
Ricin (/ËraÉªsÉªn/ REYE-sin) is a highly toxic, naturally occurring lectin (a carbohydrate-binding protein) produced in the seeds of the castor oil plant, Ricinus communis. A dose of purified ricin powder the size of a few grains of table salt can kill an adult human. The median lethal dose (LD50) of ricin is around 22 micrograms per kilogram of body weight if the exposure is from injection or inhalation (1.78 milligram for an average adult).
Ricin can potentially be used as a biological weapon. It can be turned into an aerosol and inhaled. It can also be ingested from poisoned food or a contaminated water supply or injected. Signs and symptoms of ricin poisoning depend on whether a person inhales or ingests ricin. Inhaled ricin causes fever, chest tightness, cough and severe respiratory problems, including fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema). Ingested ricin causes intestinal bleeding and organ damage. The poison can kill within three days of exposure.
