As part of '''reproduction''', [[Al-Leyan]]s go through what is called a "season", a period which draws similar parallels to [[Vulcan]] pon-farr. | As part of '''reproduction''', [[Al-Leyan]]s go through what is called a "season", a period which draws similar parallels to [[Vulcan]] pon-farr. | ||

Signs and symptoms of an Al-Leyans undergoing their season include irritability, mood swings, inability to concentrate, headaches, fatigue, and fever, among others, that could vary by individual. The ultimate result if the Al-Leyan in season doesn’t mate is death - which is where the Vulcan comparison is primarily drawn from. | Signs and symptoms of an Al-Leyans undergoing their season include irritability, mood swings, inability to concentrate, headaches, fatigue, and fever, among others, that could vary by individual.

Medications are available to delay the result of an unresolved season until an Al-Leyan can find a suitable mate, but these medications are harmful to the body and should not be taken for an extended period. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/ohYaQNtwEBo/m/QgG2z7ruAAAJ|I Have A Confession, Part II]</ref> The maximum time period for use of these medications can vary based on the individual's physiology and definitive ranges are currently under investigation by doctors and scientists. Some studies show that toxic buildup may occur more slowly in full-blooded Al-Leyans than in hybrids whose non-Al-Leyan physiology is unaccustomed to the affects of hormonal buildup and thus, these individuals can tolerate it for a longer time before it begins to affect the body's functioning. One such medication is a modified leuprolide injection, which targets Al-Leyan hormones specifically. This injection slows the toxic buildup of hormones but does not stop the process nor does it remove the toxin. | ===Treatments=== | ||

Symptom severity can vary by individual and the case studies available provide limited information. Of the handful of hybrids known, only a few have survived their seasons. It is unknown how these hybrids have managed to survive. However, a Starfleet Medical Journal article discusses a serum that shows promise in allowing these hybrids to mate with other non-Al-Leyans and reducing the number of hybrid deaths resulting from unresolved seasons. | Symptom severity can vary by individual and the case studies available provide limited information.
