Joined Trill are extremely allergic to insect bites; the biochemical connections between the host and [[symbiont]] can not tolerate the reaction caused by the insect's venom.<ref name= "Trill MA"/> | Joined Trill are extremely allergic to insect bites; the biochemical connections between the host and [[symbiont]] can not tolerate the reaction caused by the insect's venom.<ref name= "Trill MA"/> | ||

The few Trill that are given a symbiont are typically joined in their early to mid-twenties. The physical process of being joined is irreversible. Once joined, the host and symbiont are dependent on each other after 93 hours. If the symbiont is removed from the host, symbiont and host will die within hours, even if they are otherwise healthy, unless they are reimplanted with another host or symbiont.<ref name= "Trill MA"/> | |||
The brain of a joined Trill has two cerebral nuclei and two different brain wave patterns. [[ma:Julian Bashir|Julian Bashir]] compared them with two linked computers, which both work for the same task, in 2369.<ref name= "Trill MA"/> | |||
Common belief in Trill society holds that only one in one thousand Trill make acceptable hosts. In fact, this figure is vastly understated, and nearly half of the Trill population is capable of being joined. The myth is perpetuated very carefully, though, in order to avoid the widespread chaos which would arise if the information were made public, since the symbionts would become, essentially, objects to be fought over, as people fought to gain the few prized symbionts.<ref name= "Trill MA"/> | Common belief in Trill society holds that only one in one thousand Trill make acceptable hosts.
