Arsenic

Arsenic is a very bad substance that can make people sick. It's a type of chemical that can be found in things like soil, water, and even food. Arsenic is so bad because it can cause all sorts of health problems like cancer, skin damage, and very big stomach problems.

Arsenic is usually found in places where people use a lot of chemicals. It can get into the water we drink or the food we eat. This is why it's very important to make sure that what we eat and drink is safe.

Sometimes, people use arsenic on purpose to kill bugs or other pests. But this is a very bad thing to do because it can also make people sick. This is why many places have laws that say people can't use arsenic or other dangerous chemicals like it.

It's very important to stay away from arsenic and make sure that the things we eat and drink don't have too much of it. If we're not careful, arsenic can make us very sick and cause us lots of problems.
