	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Medical (Typhoid Mary) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Mary was not the most likeable of people, and her anger at those who tried to explain the disease to her and at those who exiled her to North Brother Island erected a barrier few people wanted to breach, let alone could.
		Mary was never stricken with typhoid fever herself and was therefore greatly puzzled by the claim she was carrying the contagion and passing it to others.
		Mary Mallon was high profile because of the manhunt for her, the lurid accounts of her arrest (she went kicking and screaming the first time), and her widely publicized fight for her freedom, but not for the horrific yet apocryphal body count history would later lay at her feet.

		But in 1915, she was discovered working as a cook at a maternity hospital identified as the source of a new typhoid outbreak, and she was forcibly returned to quarantine, where she remained until her death in 1938.

		Typhoid's incubation period was known to be ten to fourteen days long, so he focused on a time on or before August 20.
		First of all, he realized the typhoid outbreaks associated with Mary Mallon were unusual in that they seemed to afflict the clean, well-kept houses of the affluent.
		An earlier epidemic of typhoid and cholera had had New York and Philadelphia pointing fingers at one another, each claiming the other was responsible for the outbreak, both mortified that something so closely associated with the squalor of the old world would be blamed on their fair metropolis.

		Nearly 100 years ago at least 10 outbreaks of typhoid fever in New York City were traced to the apparently healthy cook, Mary Mallon.

		The press, clamoring for a news-making story, influenced the harsh treatment of Mallon, demonizing her as "Typhoid Mary." Most important, Leavitt, a professor of medical history at the University of Wisconsin, discusses the difficult issue of serving the public good while protecting individual liberty.
		After she infected 22 people with typhoid, the public health authorities forcibly isolated Mallon for most of her adult life in an attempt to limit the spread of the disease.
		Leavitt does a nice job of telling the story of how Mary was identified as a vector for typhoid and of how she was treated by the state of New York.

		In Typhoid Mary: Captive to the Public’s Health, Leavitt traces various perspectives on Mallon’s life, exploring how Mallon’s story was shaped by science, public policy makers, the law, the media, and social prejudices of the period, as well as exploring Mallon’s own point of view.
		The reader comes to see how Mallon’s own identity was obscured by a symbol, and how that symbol, "Typhoid Mary," was a public construction, a dialogue about the transmission of disease that had less to do with Mallon herself than with those whose business it was to shape opinions and policies about health.
		In turn, the cultural meaning of the popular but stigmatizing phrase "Typhoid Mary" influenced the actual treatment of Mary Mallon, as well as her own responses to the situation (232).

		The actual story of Typhoid Mary is very simple, and the author clearly struggles to expand it over 145 pages (with large margins and a pretty big font).
		Mary's bad hygiene is excused by telling us that no cook washes their hands properly, and always avoid the Caesar Salad.
		After five years, there was a tremendous outbreak of typhoid among the doctors, nurses and patients at a hospital for pregnant women and newborns.
