While the trees may have been afraid of hats, they were not afraid of viruses. History has it that the people of Penang (among the “Spice Islands”) were free from epidemics until the 16th Century when Dutch conquerors destroyed the clove trees that flourished on those islands. Many of the islanders died from the epidemics that followed.
