The planet contains a sentient bacteria named ''Lucia geobacter'' that infects most humanoids, but without treatment it has multiple effects on psionic species (such as [[Betazoid|Betazoids]]). The bacteria operate in a purely symbiotic relationship with life upon the planet. Their hosts provide shelter for the bacteria while they protect their hosts from the radiation that bombards the planet. However, only telepathic species get this benefit. A Betazoid population, in theory, should be able to live on Idrustix. However, immune responses need to be accounted for, so [[Ikaia Wong]] developed a medication that allows the bacteria to live harmoniously with their hosts should they decide to stay or leave. {{SimRef | | The planet contains a sentient bacteria named ''Lucia geobacter'' that infects most humanoids, but without treatment it has multiple effects on psionic species (such as [[Betazoid|Betazoids]]).

Psionic people infected with the bacteria have better immunity to the planet's radiation, and may have slightly slightly higher tolerances to radiation in general. However, that tolerance will wear off over time once they leave the planet. | Psionic people infected with the bacteria have better immunity to the planet's radiation, and may have slightly slightly higher tolerances to radiation in general.
