    Mary absolutely deserved to be kept in quarantine. She could’ve taken the royalties and have a cushy life, probably not even having to work since her story was so popular.

Her running away from the homes right as the last members were passing wasn't her saving herself,it was her avoiding the investigation yet again. She was told multiple times. But she admitted, how else could she survive in the manor she was accustomed to on anything less than a cooks income.

I find it hard to accept she didn't at least suspect she was causing people to get ill etc even before being told, the pattern of moving every time someone got sick, no matter how good the job just seems dodgy.

Especially when we don't fully understand what is happening. Knowing something but refusing to accept, believe it happens all the time, especially if we could starve, live a far less satisfying life, etc. After being told and seeing the trail of Dead I just can't accept she didn't know on some level she was responsible however in her mind it was her or them in a way. Also she obviously had a very poor understanding of hygiene and how it worked etc. She wasn't being a a-hole just a person in many ways unfortunately.

    Loved this compilation! Typhoid Mary brought trouble on herself in the end. I can believe she initially was unaware she was the cause of the infections but, once ordered to refrain from working as a cook and doing so anyway, well, life-time quarantine it is, then. Thanks, also for covering the D&D panic. Always found it amazing that folks who raised their children with tales of and movies depicting the Craft - including golem [Pinocchio], fairies, pixies, spells, curses, charms, poisoning, transmogrification [Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan] and etc. would be worried about their older children carrying on with it.

    I think the authorities took the correct actions with Mary at the time when typhoid was such a problem. The woman clearly knew or sensed that she was related to all the people in the household of her former employers who fell sick, but chose to run. She was asked to improve her hygiene habits yet she wouldn’t listen. So what she did was reckless endangerment or even manslaughter.

So it was probably when they pointed out that it's not really washing if you don't use soap, that she realized.

Its a condition which seems to be more common in dogs, however it would explain the enlarged gullet while also being able to see the stomach through his mouth. From what i can recall currently, Mega Esophagus is what it sounds like, an enlarged esophagus accompanied by a weakened or absent esophageal sphincter, which acts as a valve between the esophagus and stomach.

      He probably had prader-willi syndrome, combined with short bowel syndrome and trimethylaminuria. The prader willi syndrome caused high ghrelin secretion, driving his insatiable hunger. The short bowel syndrome caused malabsorbtion of nutriens, leaving his body in constant need for food. And due to the wast amounts of meat he consumed, containing high amounts of choline and carnitine being converter into trimethylamine, his liver would not have been able to produce enough FMO3-enzyme to oxidate all the trimethylamine into trimethylamine-oxide. The high amounts of remaining trimethylamine would be the cause of his foul body odor and cause even more damage to the mucus membranes of his intestines, causing even more malabsorbtion and horrible diarrhea. Due to him being born with these conditions, he would've cousine large amounts of food from an early age. The esophagus and stomach would've just grown to accomodate his eating habits.

      The harry potter books are extremely evil, after the harry potter movies came out, the interest in witchcraft sky rocketed. ex warlocks and witchdoctors can testify that from the age of 5 onwards they had to attend witchcraft school, from 7 in the morning till 7 at night. And the first thing they are taught in the occult is that Christianity is evil and their main enemy. Those old Christians were exactly right! Look at the world we are in now, satanism is on our tv, in our music videos, in kids shows its everywhere.
