Just a thought, but I believe the hypothesis that Warpers are immune to Carar is fundamentally in error. Since the Precursors' entire purpose on the planet was to develop a cure, and that they subsequently abandoned the planet due to an uncontrollable outbreak, it would indicate that a cure had not been developed. If it had, they would've been able to neutralize the outbreak without having to abandon the entire planet. Since they have run off and the planet is still contaminated, logic suggests that their cure research efforts were not completed. Without a cure - and since Warpers were engineered by Precursors - it seems extraordinarily unlikely that Warpers are immune to Carar unless they are radically different in biological structure from other organisms. Since that would mean an entirely custom organism down to a created-from-scratch genetic structure (not a new sequence, but an entirely new way of coding genetics that doesn't use conventional nucleic structure) ... it'd be a lot of effort to go to for a system that doesn't even work properly. (If it did, Carar wouldn't be rampant on the planet as the Warpers would be wiping out infected creatures at least as fast as they can be infected.)

Long story short - logic would point to Warpers not being immune, but rather that they have either adapted or are being autonomously replaced. By "adapted," I mean the Deadpool Solution: they're infected, thus carriers and potentially infectious, but their immune systems are effective enough to keep the disease in check. They can't destroy the infection, but can stay on top of it enough so that they can keep functioning.
