"We'll know more when the results come in. In the meantime, wait here, and I'll be back when I have more information. It should be about thirty minutes or so."<br/><br/>Forty-five minutes later, she returned, with a few printed out charts. "Let's see... we'll start with the last test. It seems that, in addition to the normal fluids, your body produces a pair of... exceptionally unusual proteins. A more complete analysis needs to be done to determine exactly what they do, but if I had to guess, based off the design, they explain the two symptoms you mentioned. To certain biologies, one of these proteins likely has a very strong taste; in fact, likely to<em>all</em>common biologies, but tailored specifically to one. The other seems to be designed to be receptive; I imagine it causes the significant reaction you noted, when mixed with a certain chemical, tailored to your body chemistry."<br/><br/>"The full genetic workup seems to indicate similar things. There's instructions in your DNA to produce those enzymes, along with a few others found in your blood stream. I can't say for certain what all of them do, but they likely seem responsible for the symptoms you've noted. It's possible to develop a gene therapy, that can reverse these effects, or, more likely, simply 'break' the coding, resulting in the enzymes no longer having any effect, which would effectively cure you, with only a small chance of side effects," she said. "You can also keep as you are; nothing seems to be directly toxic, after all. If you're intending to keep the child, you'll need to wait until after they're born, before beginning the gene therapy, or else it<em>will</em>have negative side effects."
