Ironically, some combination of the disease's (apparently) multiple pathologies discourages [[Flood Super Cell]]s. This explains why Sergeant Avery Johnson could not be infected when he and his squad were ambushed by the [[Flood]] on [[Installation 04]], leading Master Chief to his moral dilemma. Dr. [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Catherine Halsey]] guesses that there'd be a billion to one chance that Johnson's condition could be reproduced.

Technically, there is no explicit proof of what about Boren's Syndrome discourages Flood. It may be that the nervous system of someone with the disease simply cannot support Flood. A strong hypothesis is that an infection form attempting to latch on to a host with Boren's Syndrome would recognize the characteristic neurological disturbances as "irreparable damage".<br /><br />

*Once infected, he take on the look of a generic marine infected.
