Mary typhoid fever is a super virus carrier, also known as a super communicator. People like Mary typhoid will still exist, because everyone's body is different. Some people are infected with the virus, but they won't get sick. Viruses in the body live in harmony with their own cells, and they are fine, but they can infect others. It's really scary.
1In the midsummer of 906, Mr. Warren, a banker living in New York State, took his family to Long Island for a holiday. Warren hired a chef named Mary Malone.
It was a nightmare holiday, and typhoid fever broke out in Mr. Warren's house. One of Mr Warren's daughters was the first to get sick. Then, Warren's wife, two maids and gardeners and another daughter were infected with typhoid fever. Their summer house is occupied by 1 1 person, and 6 people suffer from typhoid fever. The resort has become a ward for rescuing patients.
Anxious Mr Warren tried his best to find the typhoid fever expert Dr George Thorpe at that time. After carefully inquiring about the medical history, Dr. Suo Beier fixed his questioning eyes on the chef Mary. Later, he inquired about Mary's work experience in detail.
Dr Suo Beier found that Mary had changed seven workplaces in the past seven years. Typhoid fever broke out one after another in every place where she worked. There were 22 cases, including death 1 case.
Mary was born in Ireland on September 23rd, 869. She is fair-skinned, plump and has a pair of bright and beautiful gray-green eyes.
1883, Mary came to America alone at the age of 14. Mary has hardly been to school. At that time, she was a very healthy young woman with excellent cooking skills but stubborn personality. As long as you find out who has the best smoked salmon nearby, you will certainly find Mary.
However, around her, there will always be some strange and terrible events. Whenever she works as a cook in a certain place, typhoid patients will appear in that place and die.
190 1 She helped a family in Manhattan to cook, and the family began to have symptoms of fever and diarrhea. Soon, a laundryman died mysteriously. Then she changed another one. Surprisingly, seven of the eight people in this family have contracted typhoid fever.
1904, Mary found a new job in Long Island. But what is terrible is that within two weeks, 6 families in 1 1 were hospitalized for typhoid fever. She had to change jobs again. This transfer has caused infections in three other families.
Dr. Suo Beier firmly believes that Mary is the source of infection that spreads typhoid germs; It was Mary who caused the epidemic of these diseases.
Dr Suo Beier tried to test Mary's blood and stool samples to confirm his inference. But the idea met with Mary's faithful opposition. When Dr. Suo Beier put forward these requirements to Mary, Mary quickly made an unexpected and violent reaction. She grabbed a big fork, rushed to the ground and poked at Dr. Suo Beier. Mr Suo Beier was terrified. He walked along the long and narrow hall of running all the way, and finally escaped from the iron gate of Mr Warren's house.
At that time, healthy carrier was a concept that people had never heard of. Mary is full of energy. It is a great insult to her personality to say that she infected typhoid bacteria to Mrs. Warren and their daughter, whom she respects very much.
On June 5th, 1907, Dr. Suo Beier published his findings in the Journal of American Medical Association. He interviewed Mary again. Of course, it still failed.
Later, Dr. Suo Beier tried to do Mary's work through the local health official Dr. Sarah josephine baker. I didn't expect this to annoy this woman of Irish descent even more. Mary, who is quick-tempered and articulate, scolds them like dogs. She announced outside Mr Warren's house that Mr Suo Beier and those officials were persona non grata.
A few days later, local health officials, with an ambulance and five policemen, forced Mary into the ambulance and took her to the local hospital. Mary was curled up and trembling when the police found her in the closet.
The test results of the hospital soon confirmed Dr. Suo Beier's suspicion. Mary is quick with her hands and feet, but she hardly washes her hands when cooking. Because she didn't think it was necessary. Mary was finally sent to an island called Northbrother near new york. She was sent to the infectious disease hospital.
But Mary never believed the so-called conclusion of this hospital. Two years later, she complained to the US Department of Health.
In June, 1909, new york American published a long report about Mary. This sensational article caused a sigh and strong response from the public in new york. The New York State Department of Health was accused of human rights violations.
19 10 In February, the local health department reached a settlement with Mary and lifted the isolation of her infectious diseases. At the same time, Mary also promised and swore that she would never be a cook again.
On February 91KLOC-0/0, Mary left the hospital and became a laundryman. But the income of laundry workers is much less than that of chefs.
19 15, five years after Mary was released from isolation, typhoid fever broke out in a maternity hospital in new york. There were 25 cases of nosocomial infection and 2 cases died. The health department soon found Mary in the kitchen of this hospital. She has changed her name to Mrs. Brown.
Mary returned to the island honestly. She was sentenced to life in solitary confinement. The doctor used all the medicines that could cure typhoid at that time, but typhoid bacteria persisted in her body.
Mary also gradually learned something about infectious diseases. She actively cooperated with the hospital and even became a volunteer in the hospital laboratory. She was allowed to work in a laboratory on the island, responsible for washing bottles.
1932, Mary suffered a stroke, resulting in hemiplegia.
1938165438+1October 1 1, Mary died at the age of 69. She died of pneumonia, not typhoid. At autopsy, it was found that there were many live typhoid bacilli in her gallbladder, and her body surface was covered with star-shaped rose rash. Mary's body was eventually cremated and buried at SaintRaymond Cemetery in the Bronx.
According to incomplete statistics, Mary directly transmitted 52 cases of typhoid fever in her life, of which 7 cases died; There are countless indirect infections. Except for a short interval, he was imprisoned for 27 years.
Mary is the first healthy typhoid carrier found. At that time, there were no policies and regulations that could make any suggestions on this situation. The health department had to isolate her in a glass box for the rest of her life. This isolation has never been tried and examined by any court. The American government refused to disclose her nationality and birthplace.
