DEF

Persona que ingiere paquetes de drogas ilícitas para pasarlos de contrabando por las fronteras internacionales.

CONT

[...] numerosos extranjeros pobres [...] son reclutados por bandas de narcotraficantes para ingerir ovoides de cocaína y trasladarlos durante 48 horas. Si se demoran más tiempo los jugos gástricos pueden romper las cápsulas y los "tragadores", como son denominados informalmente, corren el riesgo de morir intoxicados.

OBS

A diferencia de los portadores de droga (body packers), que introducen la droga en el cuerpo por vía rectal o vaginal, los tragadores la ingieren por la boca.
