According to the data available at present, there does not appear to be an air-borne strain of ebola. It is usually transmitted through body fluids or contaminated meat. Like HIV, it could be devastating IF an air-borne strain could be developed but it would be unusual for a fluid-borne infection to also be capable of surviving in an air-borne form.

While I am aware that the castor bean is poisonous, I have never heard of a poison so virulent that a few gallons could contaminate millions of gallons of water in a reservoir. Mort data please.
