That's pretty much what happened with the real Typhoid Mary. She was a typhoid carrier, and worse, she was a cook. The health department ended up locking her up permanently after she wouldn't stop working as a cook.

I once heard the story about her. She refused to believe she was carrying the disease, because she was never sick with it. That and she was stubborn as hell.

And apparently, "stubborn as hell" included a belief that washing one's hands between using the outhouse and handling food was a waste of time.

Ew.

Yeah, there were quite a few people around the time the concept of washing started to take hold that were like that. At least one army nurse in one of the big late-1800s wars was feared by soldiers because more soldiers died in her care than lived, because she refused to believe in rigorous washing. I can't recall which one though, I originally heard it said about Florence Nightingale, but it turned out to be a different nurse.
