seen the PBS documentary, but searching the web I found this interesting information about "Typhoid" Mary Mallon.
The linked article seeks to explain why, after she was quarantined and told repeatedly not to work in jobs requiring the handling of food, she continued to work as a cook.
It appears other options weren't avaiable to her that would have allowed her to sustain a halfway decent living.
CourtTV's Crime Library has more.
