Typhoid Mary


1. mary mallon, the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever, who spread it by working as a cook (typhoid fever is spread through water and food). when health officials tracked her down, she refused to believe she was a carrier, because a. since she was the first known case, she’d never before heard of healthy carriers and b. she did not understand a lot about typhoid fever. she was forcibly quarantined, released after two years on the condition that she wouldn’t seek work as a cook again and quarantined again for life after another outbreak was tracked to her working as a cook under a pseudonym. it seems she had taken the job because other household jobs (like doing laundry) she got didn’t pay as well and she still didn’t believe she could spread the disease.
