Poison is like a sneaky trick that some things play on our bodies. Imagine if you had a cookie, but instead of making you feel good, it made your tummy feel really bad. Poison can be in things like plants, animals, or even liquids. It’s something that can make you sick if you touch it, eat it, or sometimes even just breathe it in.
Think of a bee sting. Bees have a tiny bit of poison in their stingers. When they sting, it can make your skin feel itchy or swollen. This is because the poison is like a tiny alarm bell for your body, telling it to be careful.
Now, picture a superhero who has a special shield to protect them from danger. Our bodies have something like that too, called an immune system. When poison tries to hurt us, our immune system works like a superhero to fight it off. But sometimes, the poison is too strong, and we need help from a doctor or medicine to feel better. So, it’s important to stay away from things that can be poisonous.
