Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, 10e AB - Internal concealment of illicit xenobiotics is a significant concern for local and international police efforts as well as medical and public health practitioners. There are two distinct categories of concealment colloquially known as “body stuffers” and “body packers.” The term body stuffer refers to individuals who hide xenobiotics in a body cavity or ingest them in an attempt to hide evidence from law enforcement officers. The xenobiotics are ingested in an unplanned manner and are often poorly wrapped. The term body packer refers to individuals who conceal xenobiotics, typically in large quantities, in a premeditated fashion almost exclusively for the purposes of international smuggling.
