@SlimJ87D: Well, for starters, in Toxin's case...there's nothing to heal. Pat and the symbiote are still two seperate beings, unlike previous symbiote's and their hosts. Whereas previous symbiotes like Venom, Carnage and Hyrbrid actually merged with their hosts (Albeit with Venom only being partially, despite having the strongest bond), Toxin seems to just function as an actual suit, a second entity.
Like I said, it's not that I don't think that Antivenom's touch wouldn't affect Toxin, it's that I don't think it would have the INTENDED effect, at least not in full force.
ALSO, there's nothing to say that Eddie's touch would even affect other symbiotes. As far as I know, Eddie never came into contact with other symbiotes besides the original Venom one. And his entire White Blood suit is derived from the Venom suit itself merging with his white blood cells. So it would make sense that he could fight Venom, the original infection that his white blood cells were fighting. It's what it is based on. But others like Toxin? Not only is 2 generations of symbiote later, having evolved to gain immunities that previous symbiote's weaknesses, but like I said, the Toxin symbiote is a special case. There's not really anything to "heal".
The more I think about it, the more I think a confrontation between Antivenom and Toxin (their names alone lol) would be an interesting event. The most powerful symbiote out there with virtually no weaknesses, vs the Anti-Venom. I'm just not entirely convinced that Eddie's "healing touch" would really have the desired, if any effect on Toxin, considering the circumstances. (Much like how Fire and Sonics had virtually no effect on Antivenom, despite all evidence saying it should).
As for Anti-venom being derivative of Venom, it's in his origin. The whole way Anti-Venom was created was by the remnants of the Venom symbiote in Eddie merging with his white blood cells thanks to Mr Negative supercharging them to cure his cancer. He has always been portrayed as a "healing" counterpart of the Venom symbiote, and they are pretty much on par in terms of power, as shown by the fight between Eddie and Mac.
