== Native Bacteria and Treatment ==
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 | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/m0Wdts4eZ4w/m/PmAMyaQwFAAJ | SIMTITLE=Communicable Disease | CHARACTERS=Lieutenant [[Ikaia Wong]] | SHIP=[[Amity Outpost]] | STARDATE=239908.19 }}.  
The planet contains a sentient bacteria named ''Geobacter lucia'' (or "Lucia" for short). 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.


Psionic people infected with the bacteria have better immunity to the planet's radiation, and may have slightly slightly higher tolerances to radiation in generalHowever, that tolerance will wear off over time once they leave the planet.
Lucia infects most humanoids (without copper-based blood).  The bacteria gives them a natural shielding to the planet's slightly (but still harmful) levels of radiation.  But without treatment, they also get strong influenza like symptoms as their immune systems tries to fight the bacteriaAdditionally, in people with psionic abilities (such as [[Betazoids]]) it has hallucinogenic effects and causes delirium{{SimRef | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/WBMHcpwBUXo/m/8JqrTz4PDwAJ | SIMTITLE=Backing the Bacteria | CHARACTERS=Lieutenant [[Ikaia Wong]] | SHIP=[[Amity Outpost]] | STARDATE=239908.25 }}.


Without inoculation, symptoms from the bacteria are VERY similar to the flu - including a very high fever and delirium{{SimRef | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/WBMHcpwBUXo/m/8JqrTz4PDwAJ | SIMTITLE=Backing the Bacteria | CHARACTERS=Lieutenant [[Ikaia Wong]] | SHIP=[[Amity Outpost]] | STARDATE=239908.25 }}.
[[Ikaia Wong]] has developed an innoculation for the bacteria.  It makes the host's bodies much more hospitable to the bacteria, and accounts the body's immune system fighting it.  An innoculated Betazoid population, should be able to live on Idrustix{{SimRef | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/m0Wdts4eZ4w/m/PmAMyaQwFAAJ | SIMTITLE=Communicable Disease | CHARACTERS=Lieutenant [[Ikaia Wong]] | SHIP=[[Amity Outpost]] | STARDATE=239908.19 }}.  


Species with copper-based blood (such as [[J'naii]] and [[Vulcans]]) are not affected by the bacteria.  People with those blood types have to have doses of [[ma:Lectrazine|Lectrazine-hyronalyn]].
Species with copper-based blood (such as [[J'naii]] and [[Vulcans]]) are not affected by the Lucia bacteria.  People with those blood types have to have doses of [[ma:Lectrazine|Lectrazine-hyronalyn]] to cater for the planet's higher radiation levels.


Due to a [[Klingon]]'s higher muscle mass and immune system, the bacteria is broken down quickly in Klingon people{{SimRef | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/Hqyh-hJe9Is/m/F5fshPkaFQAJ | SIMTITLE=Q and A | CHARACTERS=Lieutenant [[Ikaia Wong]] | SHIP=[[Amity Outpost]] | STARDATE=239908.22 | REFNAME=QandA }}.
