It is suspected the man may have consumed castor seeds – which contain small traces of the killer toxin ricin.

Jim Hutton, who lives near to the property,told the MEN: “ The lad’s mother came out of the house shouting ‘where the f *** are they? My son’s dying in there ’.”

Police were called out shortly after 9am and a hazardous materials team, four fire engines and paramedics soon joined them at the scene.

The man at the center of the medical alert was treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital on a stretcher.

Another witness said: “There’s a lot of them here. I’m outside one of the houses which has been taped off.

“They (the police) said there’s a chemical issue, that’s all they told us.”

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: ‘”Police were called by the ambulance service shortly before 9am this morning to a report of concern for the welfare of a man at a property on Moor Lane.

What are castor seeds and what are they used for?

Castor seeds (or beans) have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries.

Over history they have been used for birth control and to treat constipation, syphilis and even leprosy.

Castor oil is also used as a laxative and to start labor during pregnancy.

However, the seed’s husk contains a deadly toxin called ricin.

A dose of purified ricin the size of a few grains of table salt is enough to kill an adult.
