Throwing this one out to the tumblr Jews as well, please help me deflate these knotty theological problems

God, i want to post this in some of the very serious Facebook groups I'm in. If they have anon, I might. I don't really mind getting banhammered.
I think part of this depends on the specifics of your omegaverse. Sometimes heat is like, "I'm just really flushed and uncontrollably horny" and sometimes heat is "I'm in extreme physical pain and your dick is the only cure."
This is from a ruling on fasting during pregnancy from an orthodox site.
Nausea, tiredness, or weakness are not reasons to break the fast as they are natural symptoms of pregnancy and do not indicate any high risk.
It also depends on your flavor of Judaism. I'm sure Reform Jews will bang to alleviate symptoms.
Here is some general info on eating in yom kippur that might be relevant from an ultra orthodox perspective. (emphasis added)
If one is required to eat on Yom Kippur due to medical reasons, a Rov should be consulted in advance to receive specific dispensation from fasting. However, in case of a medical emergency where one’s life is in danger, or even if there is a question whether the condition is a medical emergency or not, the patient should be given food or medicine immediately. They should not attempt to fast against the rabbi’s orders. The same Torah which commands us to fast on Yom Kippur tells us that guarding our health is far more important than fasting on this holy day. Just as a healthy person fulfills a Mitzvah by fasting; an ill person does a Mitzvah by eating.
BUT alleviating heat by having sex with am alpha would also require the alpha to not observe the mitzvah, which is definitely a complication. So maybe masturbation to temporarily alleviate symptoms if they are severe or life-threatening?
This got me wondering about pheremones and tzniut etc. How do you prevent omega pheremones from distracting alphas during prayer? (and vice verse buts lbr orthodoxy is gonna care more about alphas the way it cares more a out men). One of the main reasons more observant shuls keep men and women separate so that they won't be distracted by the opposite sex. But that only controls visual and social distraction? Do omegas also have to sit in a sealed room or under a special air vent to keep their horny smells from wafting all over the place? Are there specific types of clothing they should wear that better contain and absorb the pheremones? Or is there a religious mandate to take heat/pheremone suppressants?
Bonus: an omega in a prototype pheremone isolating chamber that could be built in the back of an omegaverse synagogue:
[nb, I was raised reform but went to conservative day school as a kid and am intermittently observant at best]
