It demonstrates the need for stringent medical care and testing to be taken with immigrants, and the need to either exclude them or ensure that they are fully cured before being permitted to land on continental soils and work (especially as cooks!). This also includes the need for quarantine for a period of time sufficient to ensure that no diseases are carried.|||Mary Malone is a fictional Character "Bloody Mary Malone"

2. That it is important that you know your medical history %26amp; not lie about it.





Mary Mallon (September 23, 1869 鈥?November 11, 1938), also known as Typhoid Mary, was the first person in the United States to be identified as a healthy carrier of typhoid fever. Over the course of her career as a cook, she infected 47 people, three of whom died from the disease. Her fame is in part due to her vehement denial of her own role in causing the disease, together with her refusal to cease working as a cook. She was forcibly quarantined twice by public health authorities and died in quarantine. It was also possible that she was born with the disease, as her mother had typhoid fever during her pregnancy.





Part of the problems Mary created stemmed from her vehement denial of the situation. She maintained she was healthy and had never had typhoid fever. Historians say it also stemmed from the prejudice that existed against working-class Irish immigrants at the time. Today, Typhoid Mary is a generic term for a carrier of a dangerous disease who is a danger to the public because they refuse to take appropriate precautions.
