I hope you don't truly believe this old wives' tale! I'm not making fun of you. I am just worried if you think it's 100% true. It might be true some of the time, but certainly not ALWAYS.
For example, what if you were swimming in the ocean and got stung by a sea wasp (a deadly type of jellyfish) that happened to float by? The sea wasp is one of the most venomous sea creatures. Some folks don't even survive long enough to be taken to the hospital. Those who do require an infusion of potent antivenom; they also usually require life support for several days.
Another example is "fly poison", a plant in the lily family whose botanical name is Amianthium muscaetoxicum. All parts are toxic, but the bulbs are the worst. There is no antidote for humans or animals who have consumed it. Some can survive with supportive care and/or temporary life support, but some will die.

No. Especially if the plants aren't naturally occuring there.
The ONLY time I've found this to be true is between nettles and horsetail, and I'm sure there are exceptions.
