Salubri, That's not Tbt1's point. Quincies have no antibodies to counteract hollows, and their bodily functions would be impaired, and they might have actually died from being in contact with a hollow. However, Ichigo is not a pure quincy, and he is partially a shinigami. Also, he has always had "White" or Zangetsu inside him, lying dormant. So he does have antibodies against them. And, his powers have all three, quincy, hollow, and shinigami powers currently. He doesn't use any definitive hollow powers, and the only quincy power he has used is the Blut Vene. This is probably due to the fact that his shinigami powers awoke first. Certainly, he would be much stronger if he used his variation of powers. But he probably doesn't know how to use those powers.
