Bactericide

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes there are tiny little things called bacteria that can make us sick? Well, a bactericide is something that is able to kill those bacteria and make us healthy again! Think of it like a superhero that goes around fighting germs and keeping us safe from getting sick. Bactericides can be found in things like hand sanitizer, cleaning products, and even some medicines. They work by attacking the bacteria in different ways, like breaking down their walls or stopping them from making new cells. So next time you wash your hands or clean a surface, remember that the bactericides are on your side to keep you healthy and germ-free!
