Perma-DoT from infested units

[Spiritfarer]

With this discussion on the steam forums I thought it might be worth including here...

I don't know the exact steps to reproduce but, in short, debuffs from infested can be permanently applied. The big one is a permanent DoT that damages shields and, eventually, health. I've encountered this both solo and multiplayer as host and client. I've also seen it occur on other players, usually with a comment along the lines of "what is damaging me?"

Everything I've tried, rolling and even dying to the point of needing a revive from other players, doesn't fix it; the only way to get rid of it that I've found is to end the mission.
