There's nothing in RAW other than 'When you are bitten'. So strict RAW, biting a were doesn't do anything. Anymore than biting a vampire makes you a vampire.
If your GM wants to make that a house rule however, it's not as if it isn't something that could make sense. If it's a magically active virus, then you're exposing yourself to it (similar to if you bit someone with HIV, you'd be exposing yourself to HIV in their blood).
Bottom line, there's nothing in RAW, but the GM makes the final call. My suggestion is talk it over with your GM and work with him. Worst case scenario, you need to get a Remove Curse ASAP.

First of all, why would you want that thing in your mouth in the first place?
Second, yeah, as written, you can't contract lycanthropy by being biting a lycanthrope. However, wererats are known to carry Filth Fever, which is a disease you probably could contract by biting the dirty rodent and that takes me back to my first question ^_^
I am having a discussion with my GM about this. I am running an Alchemist that has taken his feral mutagen and gained a bite attack. We are in an encounter where we are facing a Wererat. Now, the rules for Lycenthrope specifically state that to infect someone with Lycanthropy, the lycanthrope has to bite his subject. Now, my question is what happens if my character with his bite attack bites the wererat? My GM is saying that I'd get the curse, I am thinking that the transferral of the curse is tied to him damaging me.
Opinions?
If you could get lycanthropy from BITING a werecreature then all the fleas and ticks in the world would be just badass...
