Mallon traveled by herself to start a new life in the United States in 1883.
She emigrated from Ireland as a teenager. In 1922, New Yorker Tony Labella, a food worker, reportedly caused two outbreaks that combined for more than 100 cases and five deaths. However, based on the confirmed fatalities, Typhoid Mary was not even the most lethal carrier of the typhoid germ in New York City’s history. Since she used a number of aliases, it’s possible the true death toll could have been higher. Mallon was presumed to have infected 51 people, and three of those illnesses resulted in death. Only three confirmed deaths were linked to Typhoid Mary. Mallon’s hometown in County Tyrone was among one of Ireland’s poorest areas. She was born on September 23, 1869, in Cookstown, a small village in the north of Ireland. Typhoid Mary's real name was Mary Mallon.
