Hey all!

I moved into a property recently with this plant growing super tall. I decided to cut some of the over growing branches yesterday. Today I learned that it's a castor oil plant (I think) and I've read all sorts of scary things about it.

I have awful anxiety and now I'm freaking out about ricin poisoning.... I cut quite a lot of it down but was wearing gloves, a mask and eyewear whilst doing so. Probably should have Google lensed it first but I didn't think at the time.

Any advice is appreciated. From what I read it's only deadly if it's ingested so hoping all is fine.

Thank you in advance
