Typhoid MARY was a cook, I believe, and she accidentally gave more than 60 people Typhoid and many died. A mile is larger than a kilometer.

Typhoid Mary.
Mary Mallon seemed a healthy woman when a health inspector knocked on her door in 1907, yet she was the cause of several typhoid outbreaks.
The Warren family had hired Marry Mallon to be their cook.
In total, six of the eleven people in the house came down with typhoid.
In 1909, after having been isolated for two years on North Brother Island, Mallon sued the health department.
In February of 1910, a new health commissioner decided that Mallon could go free as long as she agreed never to work as a cook again.
In January of 1915 (nearly five years after Mallon's release), the Sloane Maternity Hospital in Manhattan suffered a typhoid fever outbreak. Twenty-five people became ill and two of them died.
Soon, evidence pointed to a recently-hired cook, Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown was really Mary Mallon, using a pseudonym.
Mallon was again sent to North Brother Island to live in the same isolated cottage that she had inhabited during her last confinement. For twenty-three more years, Mary Mallon remained imprisoned on the island.
