Can Poison and Disease only stick from one CM?

I soloedanAncient Krayt, 481k HAM, in about50 minutes stacking 6 continuous Mind Diseases: Single Disease C, Area Disease C, Single Disease B, Area Disease B, Single Disease A, Area Disease A.

I suggesteda possible new strategy to a fellow Combat Medic.

1 CM takes 50 min., 2 CM's doing this would take 25 min., 3 CM's about 12.5 min., 4 CM's about 6 min., 5 CM's 3 min.

He said only one CM can stick any particular poison/disease on a enemy. I don't believe this. Is this something new? I don't remember anything about this, and haveplayed CM for over a year. Is he just making this up? Another wrongful assumption/rumour?

From my experience and what I know, here is how stacking rules currently are:

Poisons: The strongest poison of each type (ie. single C, area c, single b, area b, single a, area a for health, action, and mind) will stick. This means that you can have 18 poisons ticking on one target max. (health, action, mind...area, single...a, b, and c). Multiple CMs won't help because only the strongest tick will take effect. It will however be faster if you have one CM stacking the C's, one doing B's, and one doing A's because it takes less time to throw all of them on and reapply.

Diseases: Strongest disease for each stat (ie, health, action, mind, stam, quick, const, strength). This means there's a maximum of 9 diseases ticking ona target. There is no use having multiple varieties for the same stat. Maybe a single C and an area C (if you want to hit a mob). However, it is useful to have multiple CMs to hit every stat so that the BF goes up and as the BF goes higher, all other damamge done increases.

To sum it up, groups of CMs can only help apply everything (and reapply everything) faster, not doubling or trippling the number or strength of the tick.
