Most probably Mary Mallon had typhoid before she came to America. She probably brought the typhoid from Ireland. She was one of the many asymptomatic carriers of typhoid.

When did Typhoid Mary die?

It is unknown how many deaths "Typhoid Mary" was responsible for.Her real name was Mary Mallon, and at first she was hired by New York banker Charles Henry Warren to be his family's cook during a summer holiday on Long Island. Shortly afterwards, one of Warren's daughters contracted typhoid fever. Next, Mrs Warren and two maids became ill, followed by the gardener and another of Warren's daughters. The owners of the holiday property hired investigators to find the cause.Investigator George Soper, a civil engineer with experience in typhoid fever outbreaks, found that from 1900 to 1907, Mallon had worked at seven jobs in which 22 people had become ill with typhoid fever. The case that Mallon was a carrier was difficult to prove, as Mallon herself was perfectly healthy, showing no signs whatsoever of the disease. However, after being forcibly taken to the Willard Parker Hospital in New York, Mallon was shown to be harbouring Typhoid bacilli. She was then quarantined for several years, only being released on the condition that she no longer work as a cook.Unable to find work that paid as well as a cook's wages, Typhoid Mary returned to cooking five years later at the Sloane Maternity Hospital in Manhattan, under the name of Mrs Brown. Another 25 people became ill with typhoid fever, and two of them died. Mallon was tracked down, and quarantined for another 23 years. Mallon eventually died on 11 November 1938.
