"Note that an alternative explanation for the "silver" weakness is that it has been a mistranslation of "silvered metal" which actually refers to quicksilver/mercury, an injection of which was thought to be fatal to werewolves (and, of course, to other living beings!)" - Wikipedia.

Fuck, I mean it said silver hurt them earlier on in the article. But then it said that in the story that that legend came from the werewolf didn't die. So if I turn into a werewolf, I think I'm good, because no one I know has mercury.
