Four cases of attempts to smuggle narcotics (marijuana, heroin, and cocaine) by swallowing a large number of drug-filled foreign bodies (condoms and capsules) and hiding them from customs authorities in the gastrointestinal canal during transit are described. This is compared with a psychiatric patient who swallowed 48 Vicks Inhalers. Drug smuggling by swallowing condoms or capsules containing narcotics is now a worldwide ethical-legal problem. It also is of therapeutic and prognostic importance as this may lead to such emergencies as mechanical obstruction, rupture of the drug-containing foreign bodies, and life-threatening intoxication of the carrier.
本文描述了4例试图通过吞食大量装有毒品（大麻、海洛因和可卡因）的异物（避孕套和胶囊），并在运输过程中将其藏于胃肠道以躲避海关检查的案例。同时将此情况与一名吞食了48个维克斯吸入器的精神病患者进行了比较。通过吞食装有毒品的避孕套或胶囊进行毒品走私如今已成为一个全球性的伦理法律问题。它在治疗和预后方面也具有重要意义，因为这可能导致诸如机械性梗阻、含药异物破裂以及携带者危及生命的中毒等紧急情况。
