A player with Nidus can infect him whenever they want. Every cyst can be traced back to a Nidus, because the cyst mechanic starts with a Nidus going into the room and infecting themselves. By making contact with another Warframe that doesn't have to be Nidus, that frame is infected. The newly infected player can go around and infect other warframes that aren't inoculated, nor have they been infected yet. This rule still applies to Nidus, regardless of being inoculated or not. To put it simply, Nidus is the frame that creates more cysts. If DE removed Nidus, and all players removed their cysts, the Helminth mechanic essentially becomes defunct.
