February 26: Typhoid Mary
In August of 1906, a mysterious cluster of typhoid fever cases erupted in a very unlikely setting--a summer house in wealthy Oyster Bay, Long Island. Typhoid fever, a bacterial disease spread by poor sanitation, was associated with slums and poverty, not wealthy communities. About 10 percent of those infected, died.
The owner hired a civil engineer, (George Soper) to discover the source of the disease, and the engineer soon focused on the new cook, Mary Mallon. In tracing her employment history, Soper found that typhoid outbreaks followed her wherever she was employed.
