'''Boren's Syndrome''' is a human disease caused by prolonged exposure to high-yield plasma, such as from [[Plasma Grenade|plasma grenades]]. It has several symptoms including brain tumors, migraines, and amnesia. Without proper treatment, it may also cause death. It is treatable by thirty weeks of intensive chemotherapy. | '''Boren's Syndrome''' is a human disease caused by prolonged exposure to high-yield plasma, such as from [[Plasma Grenade|plasma grenades]].

It is a condition that [[Sergeant Avery Johnson]] may have, caused by exposure to plasma grenades. It was said to have been contracted when he used an entire crate of plasma grenades to hold off [[Covenant]] forces on [[Paris IV]]. However, this is likely a hoax used to hide the fact that Sergeant Johnson is a [[SPARTAN-I]], known as the Paris/BS Spoof. | It is a condition that [[Sergeant Avery Johnson]] may have, caused by exposure to plasma grenades.

Several members of the [[United Rebel Front]] claimed to have this condition, they hoped to bargain with the [[UNSC]] to gain treatment for the condition in trade for some [[FENRIS Nuclear Warhead]] | Several members of the [[United Rebel Front]] claimed to have this condition, they hoped to bargain with the [[UNSC]] to gain treatment for the condition in trade for some [[FENRIS Nuclear Warhead|FENRIS Nuclear Warheads]]. | ||
Several members of the UNSC have alleged that inhaling the gases released when a [[Carbine]] magazine is ejected causes Boren's Syndrome, but the truth of this statement is unknown. | Several members of the UNSC have alleged that inhaling the gases released when a [[Carbine]] magazine is ejected causes Boren's Syndrome, but the truth of this statement is unknown. | ||

The condition has a curious side effect; it is the only known natural defense against the [[Flood]] organism. This is because of the way Boren's syndrome alters the neural synapses of a stricken person, which makes their physical processes too unstable for an [[Infection Form]] to control, thus making it virtually impossible for an Infection form to match neural electrical signals with a potential host. | The condition has a curious side effect; it is the only known natural defense against the [[Flood]] organism.
