Honestly I think the black goo is used so much because it's a cool effect.

We've also seen it when Derek was hit with the wolfsbane bullet in Magic Bullet if I'm recalling correctly...which fits with Gerard and the mountain ash and the mistletoe with Cora...anything ingested (or by other means) by a werewolf(or someone about to become a werewolf) that is poisonous to them causes the black goo reaction.

Didn't Derek tell Stiles that the black goo was evidence his body was trying to heal or something like that?...and I guess the wolfsbane from the bullet was preventing that??? Wonder if it was possible Paige had something in her system that was okay for humans but poisonous to werewolves and when she was bitten she got the same type of reaction. Perhaps another possibility.

And Jackson...way out in left field...he did turn...just not into a werewolf...so the bite wasn't really rejected...it just didn't produce the expected result. idk....almost seems they need an episode explaining black goo like they had for eye color....lol
