In some of the books it is stated that lycanthropes (especially, but not exclusively, the werewolves) avoid interacting with the police because the cops take issue with dominance fights that leave behind corpses. She claims that this is a result of the lycanthropes' human sides messing things up, but this fails to explain lycanthropes preferring to gather in massive groups, being unusually power-obsessed and predatory toward their own kind. She even did this to the weres that were based on animals that do not form "packs" or "herds" or "troops", but rather prefer to live singly or in pairs, only coming together to breed. Unfortunately, the way most of the lycanthropes are portrayed makes it seem like Hamilton decided on a basic model (a "pack" led by an alpha male, with junior alphas and betas behind the senior alpha in authority) and just applied it slap-dash to every single type of lycanthrope in the series.

A series-wide one: Yeerks take over humans by entering the host's body through the ear and wrapping around the brain.It doesn’t make much sense that that would cure him, since all it does is make him vomit. However the problem is fixed by Prima forcing him to drink alcohol. The poison seems to be intravenous, which means it would have to be drawn out of Christopher’s veins or a cure would have to be injected. ALiCE (2014): Pretty massively after Christopher is poisoned by the Jabberwock but justified since it’s Michael’s dream and he might not know how those things work.
