13. Why don't you distinguish how ricin, a nature-derived substance,...

,...is chemical rather than biological?

If you can distinguish that which can produce biological agents from those which produce chemical agents, you would enlighten "Just Me".

I always thought "biological agents" were those which could be dispersed without any human intrusion of additional substances (so to speak). Whereas, "chemical agents" required human invention/intrusion of additional natural substances.

That was just a very basic understanding I held onto,...so, I'd really appreciate your additional knowledge on the subject.
