Being Dead Serious podcast
Episode 81:The most dangerous woman in America:
Typhoid Mary
In this episode, we serve up the hot (and germy) tale of Mary Mallon, aka "Typhoid Mary," the cook who put the fever in flavor.
Mary didn’t just whip up mouthwatering meals—she also unknowingly spread typhoid fever to dozens of unsuspecting diners.
Who knew her secret ingredient wasn’t love but bacteria?
We’ll explore how Mary became America’s first known asymptomatic carrier of typhoid, her refusal to believe she was the problem (spoiler: she absolutely was), and the government’s decision to quarantine her—twice!
Was she a misunderstood victim, a stubborn rebel, or just the world’s unluckiest cook?
Along the way, we’ll learn about the science of typhoid, why public health officials were losing their minds, and what Mary’s story teaches us about personal responsibility (hint: wash your hands, people).
Tune in for laughs, germs, and a story so wild you’ll never look at your kitchen the same way again.
