swallower
One who ingests
A swallower is someone or something that swallows.
The word appears in compounds: a sword swallower performs by inserting blades down the throat; a fire swallower extinguishes flames in the mouth.
In drug smuggling, a swallower ingests contraband to transport it past authorities.
