  • Beyond Typhoid Mary: Typhoid Fever's Long Trail Through History

  • Nearly everyone has heard of Typhoid Mary, who was quarantined for the final decades of her life because she was a carrier of typhoid fever. But Mary was far from the first or last typhoid fever patient in history. Typhoid fever is an ancient disease, the presence of which in the historical record is hard to detect because of changing views and knowledge concerning the fever itself. In this class we’ll give Mary Mallon her due, but we’ll also take a typhoid tour through the deeper past.
