Also question is, are hunters immune to the flood?
Lekgolo (Hunters and Hunter Worms): Due to Hunters being massive colonies of individual Lekgolo worms, and due to the Lekgolo lacking a central nervous system and biomass, they are, collectively, immune to Flood infection. Lekgolo cannot be properly infected, if they even can be.
One may also ask, what happens when a Spartan is infected by the flood? Spartan - Iron Spartans have always been able to be infected, the trick is an infection form getting under the thick armor and bodysuit that laid underneath. In the Flood, an infection form jumped onto the Chief and tore the bodysuit near his neck, had Cortana not zapped the thing off of him, he would've been infected.
Likewise, people ask, can grunts get infected by the flood?
They aren't immune to the flood, the flood just uses them for raw biomass instead of as combat forms. Similar case with jackals.
How does the flood infect?
The Flood infects any sentient life of sufficient size. The Flood-infected creatures, also called Flood, in turn infect other hosts. The parasite is depicted as such a threat that the ancient Forerunners killed themselves and all other sentient life in the galaxy in an effort to stop the Flood's spread.
