Hmm, I was thinking of something different for the silver reaction. A typical silver allergy would result in some sort of rash or irritation that would occur after extended contact, right? I imagined a werewolf's reaction would be more of a "Ah! It burns!" after only brief contact. That would be the difference.

Which is why i think it's all the more ludicrous.

And how is that version of the silver reaction any more unique? That kind of "burning-sensation-from-the-touch" idea has been in 9 million other WW stories, no matter how differently it works.

I ment to differentiate between a werewolf reaction and someone who just has a silver allergy. But that's assuming werewolves would have the burning reaction found in so many werewolf tales.

Smart werewolves might wear gloves as a fashion statement.

Really smart werewolves might also wear semi-military cuts with more german silver buckles on them than anyone could count in one glance.

Shaking hands then would be 'no thang'.
