"Des" Wood was used in Ancient Egypt to ward away the affects of "Sakhmet's Wind," an "airborne epidemic found in droplets of infected mucus," (Magic in Ancient Egypt, by Geraldine Pinch, P. 143); (Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus, P. 472.). Which wood was it, exactly? If it could cure it back then, why not now? The Des-Wood would be placed around the person to prevent infection, along with a "Nefret flower." We should probably test each wood against Covid19...
