Abstract
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. (JAMA238:1391-1392, 1977)Keywords
