Transwarp Evolutionary Syndrome

The side effect of traveling at transwarp speeds. For unknown reasons, the human body undergoes a metamorphosis as a result of being subjected to transwarp travel. Described as genetic mutation, the body progresses through an evolutionary process at highly accelerated speeds. Organs mutate to new forms or functions, vestigial organs disappear, and new organs are generated. The syndrome also affects the emotional state of the victim, creating mood swings from normal lucidity to anger and paranoia. If the syndrome completely runs its course, the victim mutates completely into a salamander-like life form. The condition is treated with antiproton radiation therapy, which successfully reverses the effects and returns the patient to their human state.
