About this episode
She looked healthy. She cooked for the wealthy. But wherever Mary Mallon went, death followed. This is the chilling, true story of Typhoid Mary — the first identified “healthy carrier” in U.S. history — whose trail of invisible contagion swept through New York’s high society, igniting fear, outrage, and a decades-long debate over public health versus personal freedom. From lavish Long Island mansions to the isolation of North Brother Island, discover how one woman became both villain and victim, and why her ghost still haunts medical ethics today.
