Department of Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences Buckshot Ingestion. Cox WR, Pesola GM. NEJM 2005; 353:e23. 73-year-old Inuit woman “…appendix was completely full of lead shot….Decades of ingestion probably resulted in this large accumulation. A round piece of buckshot can be seen on the patient's right above the appendix — probably evidence of a recent meal.”
