No. natural antibodies do not destroy the poison in germs. They destroy the germs. They can be modified to disrupt the structure of the toxin (as the toxin is a protein which implies it can only work when in its perfect shape) . Also, it does not really matter if the antibodies destroy the toxins, as, in the second line of defense, they engulf the germs and digest them wholly, so the toxins are destroyed. But in other cases, u wouldn't want to fight the product but the source of the problem ie. the microbes and not the toxins.

Another Perspective:

In the case of germs (bacteria), they are the poison. Antibodies do attack and destroy bacteria (and whatever is in them).
