Can antibodies destroy the poison in germs?
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).
What part of blood fights germs that enter the body?
White blood cells are the part of blood that fights germs that enter the body. They recognize and attack harmful pathogens to help keep the body healthy.
What are chemicals produced by the body that attack invading germs?
Enzymes in body fluids provide a chemical barrier to pathogens. Gastric juice, for example, contains the protein-splitting enzyme pepsin and has a low pH due to hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The combined effect of pepsin and hydrochloric acid kills many pathogens that enter the stomach. Similarly, tears contain the enzyme lysozyme, which destroys certain bacteria on the eyes. The accumulation of salt from perspiration also kills certain bacteria on the skin.
What is a medicine that produces immunity by generating antibodies?
Vaccines are used to produce immunity by causing the body to generate antibodies. The antibodies can be directed against the organism causeing the illness or against a toxin produced by the organism. Also some allergies are treated by causing the body to develop blocking antibodies. In most cases injections are used to give the treatment. Oral polio vaccine is one exception to this.
What stimulates a person's body to produce chemicals that destroy vireses or bacteria?
The best answer would be Antibodies; however, these do not chemically "attack" viruses or bacteria. More accurately, antibodies recognize various germs and allow the various cell types of your immune system to attack and destroy these germs directly.

How are the terms antigen and antibody related?
An antigen are the germs that enter the body, and antibodies are the thing that the body produces to kill them.
How does your body get rid of germs?
The body gets rid of germs through the immune system's response. This can include producing antibodies to fight the infection, activating white blood cells to destroy the germs, and eliminating them through processes like coughing, sneezing, and sweating. The lymphatic system also plays a role in filtering out and removing germs from the body.
What does your body produce when it feels threatened with germs?
When your body feels threatened by germs, it produces white blood cells, antibodies, and cytokines as part of your immune response to help fight off the infection.
