Mary Mallon, Typhoid Mary

Editorial use only . Captioned: Mary Mallon, better known as Typhoid Mary, sits fourth from the right, among a group of inmates quarantined on an isolated island in the Long Island Sound. Mallon (1869-1938), better known as Typhoid Mary, was the first person in the US identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogen associated with typhoid fever. From 1900 to 1907 she worked as a cook in New York and was presumed to have infected 49 people, 3 of whom died, over the course of her career. Mallon said she rarely washed her hands when cooking and felt there was no need to do so. Tests revealed that her gallbladder was teeming with typhoid salmonella. She refused to give up her occupation as a cook, maintaining that she did not carry any disease. She was forcibly isolated twice by public health authorities and died after a total of nearly three decades in isolation. Undated photograph, but Mallon was quarantined on the same island twice. First quarantine 1907-1910.
