Many of Junji Ito’s works cannot be clearly interpreted. Terrifying visuals, downright gore, and plain disturbing scenes. ![]() What makes Junji Ito’s work so popular is the drawing style.

Mary admitted to rarely washing her hands after using the bathroom and when cooking. Mary had never had typhoid herself, but carried in her gallbladder, Salmonella typhi, the strain of bacteria known to cause typhoid. Typhoid Mary was the name (among others) given to thirty-seven year old Mary Mallon who was one of the first people known to modern medical science as a healthy carrier of disease.
