Like typhoid Mary, leaving behind a trail of scandal and death

Sep 26,2023 8:31 am

Mary Mallon , the thought here in the foreground, the never Typhoid Fever , under the contract, but was responsible for the spread of the disease

no one has ever, we see a time when every News Bulletin and the web site in The World , filled with stories to hit the of of a global health crisis and the scientific race.

But this is not the First Time that the epidemiology has captured The Public imagination.

It was the "Spanish" flu epidemic of 1918-1920 that infected and killed a quarter of The World population and Somewhere Between 17 and 50 million people.

But Even before that it is The Extraordinary Story Of Typhoid Mary , a young Irish immigrant working as a cook in New York at the beginning of the 20Th Century , leaving in their Wake a trail of death, scandal and controversy.

Irish cooking with a signature dish

At some points in its history, appears to Mary to be a victim and in The Other a scoundrel, but you will surely epidemiology is The Talk of New York and The World in The Years just before The First World War .

Mary Mallon was born in Cookstown, County Tyrone , in 1869, but Ireland left as a teenager in search of a New Life in the New World .

around 1900, Mary was a cook, working in the houses of the wealthy Families in and around New York City. Their signature dish, it was said that the peach Ice Cream .

working Somewhere Between one and two million Americans in a Domestic Service at the time, and his cooking was the Queen of The Castle .

she managed The Kitchen staff, purchased and to prove their status, they were for your employer, Miss Mallon, and not merely Mallon.

Killer disease stalked New York

Mary Mallon worked in the ritzier parts of Manhattan, but things were not so good as they seemed.

Between 1900 and 1907, she cooked in the homes of seven Families - The Last one on Park Avenue - and in each of them people are sick or have died. Every time you slipped away and found work elsewhere.

their rich employers were shocked in places like Oyster Bay and Fifth Avenue .

Typhoid Fever was a killer, but it belonged to Another World . The disease flourished in the crowded, unsanitary conditions of New York slums like the Five Points , Prospect Hill , Hell's Kitchen.

The Family of one of The Victims hired a researcher named George Soper and the hardworking Mr was Soper as Mary 's Nemesis , Even if he followed you down, they chased him out of her kitchen with a carving-fork.

And that's part of The Problem with Maria.

This example from the year 1909 of typhoid shows-Mary break skulls in a frying pan

It is possible to sympathize with their refusal To Believe that you could transfer a disease, you have never suffered yourself. But Mr. Soper had correctly identified as an asymptomatic carrier of Typhoid Fever .

she would never the disease itself, but it would never stop, it's to Other People .

Not surprisingly, that Mary Mallon was to understand this was impossible. But the New York authorities were in despair, and in 1907, Maria was exiled to the isolation of the facility on North Brother island in The River outside of New York .

What is Typhoid Fever ?

North Brother Island is an uninhabited bird sanctuary These Days - it sits in the East River near The Bronx .

In the late 19Th Century , it was built to house victims of smallpox, and The Task was finally, keep in the isolation of persons suffering from a quarantinable disease.

The Treatment may appear brutal by modern standards, but before the invention of antibiotics like, there was No Other way, such diseases. The Greater New York Charter, gave state health departments The Power to the sick in the isolation.

Mary Mallon was kept, essentially, in solitary confinement. You had to legal action and told by her lawyer that it was unfair to treat you as an outcast, as you've done nothing Wrong .

Mary Mallon is pictured here, fourth from R, in quarantine

"It seems incredible," She Said , "that in a Christian community a defenseless woman can be treated in this way. "

Maria won her freedom In Return for A Promise that they will not work as a cook again.

As the newspaper baron Hearst Typhoid Mary ' s included cause

her case was, to said of the media Mogul William Randolph Hearst, who was, for once, have demanded that every story in his papers should lead The Reader from his chair with a cry of "Good God!".

Hearst was a publisher of extraordinary influence, and it was in his newspaper the New York American, that their story was told for the First Time in full on may 20. Of June, 1909.

Hearst's support was something of a double-edged sword. The advertising he produced Mary gave The Money to hire a lawyer.

Hearst may have Even paid the legal bills, as he was thought to have done before you in the cases, a good copy. On The Other hand, to have his Reporter rails, coined the nickname, Typhoid Mary , which stuck for the rest of your life.

As life for freedom rejected

she tried to work, the lowlier the job of Laundry maid, but eventually returned to cooking under a string of assumed names. You, yourself, inexcusable, took a job in The Kitchen of a hospital.

The now well-known path of death and the disease pursued them. It is impossible to know how many deaths she was responsible for it. There were certainly at least three, but more lurid accounts suggest there could be as many as 50.

When the authorities pursued again in the year 1915, there were no newspaper campaign, and no sympathy.

Mary was sent back to isolation, and lived in the prison for 23 years until her death in 1938. Her legacy, maybe it's not a lesson about following medical advice, Even if you really understand.

But why Mary Mallon 's signature dish of peach Ice Cream is so important for your story?

The typhoid bacterium lives in the cold, but is destroyed by cooking. If you had taken a particular pride in their Apple Pie we is the Typhoid Mary would, perhaps, have never heard of.
