Oh, Karen, "Why does would metal...", you were not referring to what is known as "Wood's metal", would you ?  It is a kind of solder, and it is unfit for baking conditions.  I don't know about its effect on yeast, but it melts at temperatures like 80°C.  It would melt in the oven.

What do you mean? Did I say something about wood metal...

Well, the initial question read "Why does would metal kill yeast..." so I thaught it might have been a spelling error.
