When you have multiple stacks of this item, there appears to be a delay of a few seconds before you can apply it to another enemy.

As in: Touch enemy, they get infected. Wait a few seconds (enemy still alive and infected), your "second charge" appears around you, and then you can touch and infect another enemy.

I've only observed up to 2 stacks, so I'm not sure if the delay decreases as you gain more stacks.

Also how many ticks of damage does it cause? How many ticks per second? The spreading mechanic appears to have a fairly short range (4-6 Commando-width space), and also may not spread when the infection itself doesn't cause the death (unsure).
