Antitoxin

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes you might eat something that makes you feel sick or get a boo-boo that gets infected? Well, sometimes when we get sick or hurt, our bodies make bad things called toxins. These toxins can make us even sicker and they're like bullies that want to hurt us.

Luckily, scientists have figured out how to make something called an antitoxin to fight against these bullies. It's kind of like a superhero that fights against the bad guy.

Antitoxins are made by taking a part of the bad toxin, but changing it a little bit so it won't make you sick anymore. Then, when you get sick with a certain toxin, doctors can give you an antitoxin that will fight against that specific toxin.

It's kind of like having a shield to protect you from the bully. But instead of being made out of metal, it's made out of medicine! So if you ever get really sick from a bad toxin, remember that there's an antitoxin out there that can help make you feel better.
