Hmmmm... why do you think that Lycanthropy is unique to magic people? 
I don't think its been explicitly stated that if a werewolf bites a 
muggle it wouldn't have any effect on him/her. I'm not at all an 
expert on the werewolf myths but it seems somehow more appropriate 
that all human beings are susceptible to Lycanthropy, no?
