Arsenic poisoning

Okay kiddo, let me explain arsenic poisoning to you as if you were only 5 years old.

Arsenic is a type of poison that can be harmful to your body if you eat it or drink it. It's like when you're told not to touch or eat things that you find on the ground or in bottles because they can be dangerous.

Arsenic is sometimes found in things like water, soil, and even in some foods (like certain types of fish). It can also be used in some chemicals, pesticides, and insecticides that people might use.

When someone is exposed to too much arsenic, their body can start to feel really sick. They might have stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. They might also feel weak and tired, and have trouble breathing or sleeping.

If someone has really bad arsenic poisoning, it can even affect their brain and their nerves, which can make it hard for them to move or talk properly.

So it's really important to stay away from things that might have arsenic in them, and to make sure you only eat safe foods and drink clean water. And if you ever feel sick or think you might have been exposed to arsenic, tell a grown-up right away so they can help you feel better.
