Typhoid Mary infected people through her cooking.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Typhoid Mary infected people through her cooking?

Unclear. Several sources confirm Mary Mallon was a cook and an asymptomatic typhoid carrier who infected dozens of people, and one fact-check notes she continued cooking while contagious. None of the placed items explicitly states that the infections occurred through her cooking itself.
