Episode description
We're taking a break this week so here's an episode from our first season you may not have heard yet. We'll be back with a new episode next week!
This is the story of a cook who refused to wash her hands and the health department that chased her around New York City in search of a stool sample. She’d end up alone on an island, but everyone knew her name. Here’s how Mary Mallon became Typhoid Mary.
