130. Inhaled, injected, or ingested, according to wiki.
Very small amounts are fatal. Wiki cites CDC - "The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) gives a possible minimum figure of 500 micrograms (about the size of a grain of salt) for the lethal dose of ricin in humans if exposure is from injection or inhalation." I didn't fact check it.

You're a psychotherapist? I'm interested in your analysis. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that the writer might have psychotic characteristics causing them to adapt this style, meaning it's not necessarily their natural speech pattern? By florid, do you mean very dramatic? Could this suggest that they are just threatening, don't mean it? It sounds like there's no way to be sure - they might actually do it?

Great.
