Technically, there is no explicit proof that Boren's Syndrome discourages Flood. It may be that the nervous system of someone with the disease simply cannot support Flood. One 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," thus rendering the sufferer immune. However, it is highly likely that if this condition did in fact prevent Flood infection the [[Forerunner]] would have found it after hundreds of years of research into Flood prevention. | Technically, there is no explicit proof that Boren's Syndrome discourages Flood.

Since it has been confirmed that Boren's Syndrome is simply a cover for the side-effects of the SPARTAN-I augmentations, it is possible that the augmentations keep the Flood from recognizing a potential host because of the disruptive effects of the augmentations. However, this cannot be confirmed or disproved since Johnson was the only SPARTAN-I to come in contact with the Flood. | Since it has been confirmed that Boren's Syndrome is simply a cover for the side-effects of the SPARTAN-I augmentations, it is possible that the augmentations keep the Flood from recognizing a potential host because of the disruptive effects of the augmentations.
