Mrs. Allgood's internet has returned! And just in time - because we need to talk about Mary Mallon, a.k.a. "Typhoid Mary". In this episode of Who Knew? A History Podcast, Mrs. Allgood walks through one of history's most vilified figures, whose nickname is now synonymous with sickness and disease. But in digging into her story, we learn that the real-life Mary Mallon is a misunderstood and tragic figure, and her life has many parallels to the issues of public health and individual liberty that we are confronting today.
