Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ricin is classified as a Category B agent, not Category A. Category A agents are those that pose the highest risk to national security, such as anthrax, botulism, and viral hemorrhagic fevers, because they can be easily disseminated or transmitted from person to person, result in high mortality rates, have the potential for major public health impact, and might cause public panic and social disruption. Ricin, while dangerous, does not meet the criteria for a Category A agent.
