Interspecies Medical Exchange

Methyl Oxide
Lorillian children are born able to breathe only this particular gas. There is not enough methyl oxide in certain atmospheres where Lorillians live (Rigel X, for example), so Lorillian mothers wean their children to other natural elemental vapors by age four with respirators.[1]

Zymuth Gland
This gland was located in the neck of the Axanar species. The zymuth gland released triglobulin into the bloodstream. Several Axanar were killed and their triglobulin was harvested by an unknown species in 2151.[1]

Tropolisine
Natural psychotropic compound. Tropolisine was found in the flower pollen of Archer IV, first encountered by the Enterprise NX-01 in 2151. Strong winds caused it to affect the visiting crewmembers, who began to suffer from delusions.[1]

Triglobulin
Substance released into the bloodstream by the zymuth gland in the Axanar species. This substance was much like Human lymphatic fluid and was sometimes harvested by other species for such things as vaccines and aphrodisiacs.[1]

Pon Farr
Name of the Vulcan mating cycle. Every seven years, the adult Vulcan undergoes an extreme and erratic physical and psychological imbalance, which can be fatal if the mating ritual is not carried out.[1] When Spock underwent pon farr in 2267, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 journeyed to Vulcan, where his betrothed mate chose another champion to fight for her—Captain Kirk. Only after McCoy deceived Spock by injecting Kirk with a substance that simulated death did Spock return to his normal, logical demeanor.[1] Certain agents have been known to accelerate the pon farr. For example, T’Pol found herself undergoing the pon farr prematurely after being exposed to foreign microbes on an away mission in 2153.[2]

Niaxilin
Drug used to separate mating Denobulans, should they become too vigorous. In 2151, Dr. Phlox explained this to his human friend, Dr. Jeremy Lucas, who was serving on Denobula at the time.[1]
