Two people were hospitalized after being exposed to a “white powdery substance” found at Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) office in Houston, Texas, on Oct. 2.

It comes minutes after packages that were suspected to contain ricin, a poison made from castor beans, were detected in a mail room at the Pentagon in Washington D.C., according to reports.
