Listen in as the Quacks Will and Jon discuss the infamous Typhoid Mary and how her story is revenant today. “Typhoid” Mary Mallon was a cook for many wealthy families in the New York area in the early 1900’s. She was the first identified asymptomatic carrier of Typhoid fever and was responsible for infecting dozens of people with the deadly disease. She was eventually tracked down by George Soper and quarantined on North Brother Island, where after a short release, would eventually spend the rest of her life (over 23 years on the island). She died in 1938 and there are conflicting reports about what happened after she died. The official report is that she was immediately cremated and buried in St Raymond’s cemetery. Another theory says an autopsy revealed infected gallstones in her gallbladder (something the NY dept of health tried to remove but Mary refused) Mary was never truly made to understand her role in the typhoid epidemic of the time period and was locked away and tested on for decades.
