TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Cocaine-codom ingestion. Surgical treatment JO - JAMA journal of the American Medical Association A1 - Suarez, C. A. A1 - Arango, A. A1 - Lester, J. L. SP - 1391 EP - 1392 VL - 238 IS - 13 N2 - We report one survivor and two deaths from cocaine toxicity. Cocaine, packaged in condoms, was deliberately ingested to avoid detection by customs agents. Because cocaine is a toxic drug, we recommend surgical removal of the ingested packages, as alternative methods of removal are unreliable and potentially dangerous.
