Typhoid Mary: The Healthy Woman Who Spread Death
-
Narrated by:
-
Written by:
She was a talented cook who never felt sick a day in her life. And nearly everywhere she worked, people caught typhoid — and some of them died. Mary Mallon was one of the first "healthy carriers" ever identified, and she was locked away on an island for nearly three decades because of it.
This episode follows the medical detective who traced her trail of outbreaks, her refusal to believe she was dangerous, her broken promise — and the unsettling question her story still asks: when does protecting the many justify imprisoning the one?
