Today, I will tell you a story about a chef who didn't wash his hands when he went to the toilet with a virus, which caused very serious consequences and was called "typhoid Mary".
Mary Malone is Irish, 1869 was born in an ordinary worker's family. 1884, Mary immigrated to the United States and worked as a servant in a rich family in exchange for a meager salary to make a living.
During this period, Mary gradually fell in love with cooking and showed great talent, so Mary changed careers and became a chef. 1906, Warren, a banker, took his family out to play, and Mary was the chef who prepared meals for them. Unexpectedly, it was this chef who caused a serious disaster to their family.
As mentioned earlier, washing hands before and after meals has become a conscious behavior habit, but Mary doesn't have this habit. She almost never washes her hands after going to the toilet and starts cooking. If Mary is not a cook, her habits sound uncomfortable, but she won't be criticized too much.
But she happens to be a chef, and this personal habit of not paying attention to hygiene makes people feel disgusting. In addition, she also carries germs. So soon someone in Warren's family was infected with typhoid fever. At first I thought it was just a case, but not long after, someone in Warren's family was infected with typhoid fever, which made Warren feel a sense of crisis.
In order to check the causes of typhoid fever among family members, Warren invited a famous typhoid fever expert for medical examination. Finally, the experts locked the reason on Mary. The reason why Mary is considered as the spread of typhoid virus is mainly because the expert found that the place where Mary used to work almost broke out typhoid fever, so he has reason to think that Mary carries typhoid virus.
Experts originally wanted to collect Mary's blood samples and feces for examination, but this behavior was strongly resisted by Mary.
Mary thinks that her body is healthy and there is no such thing as a virus. What the typhoid expert did was insulting her personality. In the end, typhoid experts had no choice but to report to the relevant health departments. With the help of the police, she successfully obtained relevant samples. After testing, Mary was found to be a virus carrier. As typhoid experts said, she was able to avoid typhoid because she had already produced antibodies against typhoid virus in her body.
In order to prevent Mary from transmitting typhoid virus to others again, the police sent Mary to an infectious ward on an isolated island for treatment. However, Mary didn't believe the conclusion that she was carrying the virus at all. She kept trying to leave the island. Later, due to public pressure, Mary was released.
But at the same time, she was also asked not to work as a chef. But obviously Mary didn't take the warning seriously. 19 15, Mary became a cook again, so inevitably, someone contracted typhoid fever.
Mary knew it was because of her own reasons, so she took the initiative to go to the hospital for treatment, but the result was not as good as expected. The virus on her body could not be completely removed, so Mary returned to the island and was isolated. It was not until Mary died that this isolation was lifted.
It seems that fate played a joke on Mary and gave this beautiful young woman a unique figure. As a virus carrier, once it is found that she can't live freely in the crowd, Mary's violent resistance may be understandable when this symptom begins to be discovered, but when her isolation period is over, she still chooses to be a chef who may infect others, which is obviously unacceptable to others.
According to relevant statistics, Mary's virus has caused 7 deaths, and as many as 52 patients were directly infected because of her, and countless others were indirectly infected.
