Bite Mechanics

Has anyone figured out the exact details of when a werebite infects someone? I recently had a mechanic bitten and shaken horribly before a friendly lumberjack disemboweled the werewombat assailant. The shaking inflicted massive injuries, but the bite itself only bruised the skin before grasping. The mechanic did not turn, and (barely) managed to survive the recovery process. Can anyone confirm a case in which a werebite both:

1) Failed to break the skin, and

2) Succeeded in infecting the victim?

It'd be VERY nice to know if your dwarves are going to go postal in a month immediately after the battle, rather than AFTER putting them through surgery and carrying out lengthy quarantine procedures.

adv mod times and durations

It's difficult to be precise, but the full phase appears to last 1.75 days. On 25th Granite it begins immediately at midnight and continues to sunset of the 26th. On 13th Limestone it appears to start around 03:00 and end around 21:00 the 14th. Uzu Bash (talk) 05:49, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
