I forgot how this topic went, but I would personally think that a werewolf would have simular immune system to that of a human and a wolf, but perhaps a tad stronger since a werewolf is supposed to be more adapted to nature. So perhaps a werewolf's immune system would be more simular to that of a wolf.

No amazing superpowers though.

My own take was that werewolves are not literally half-man, half-wolf, but rather that they are humans who can, at times, greatly resemble a wolf. So I would figure that the werewolf's dietary pros and cons would be much closer akin to a human's than a wolf's.

The way I've always seen werewolf traits and such is they attain the best of both the human and wolf, and negative traits, which are natural to each, are cancelled out if one is better than the other. For instance, if a werewolf were to consume chocolate, regardless of what form one happens to be in (namely wolf, though), the human part of them would allow the chocolate to be digested and, as I've occasionally heard, benefit from the chocolate (supposedly helps aid memory). So, as a wolf would get sick from chocolate, a werewolf would not, as the human trait that allows humans to digest chocolate would present itself over the wolf's trait which disallows them to digest the chocolate.

As I see it, generally no. A human is most certainly negatively effected by these, and I image a wolf is similarly effected. Antidotes are available for a large variety of poisons and toxins, but in a normal everyday situation (or perhaps not so normal if exposed to sarin or cyanide) I don't see a good chance of survival.
