Bronze disease
Bronze disease is when a special kind of sickness happens to things made of bronze. Bronze is a kind of metal that's made of two different metals mixed together. When bronze gets sick, it starts to have things growing on it that look like little green or blue spots. These spots are actually alive and are made of tiny little creatures called microbes. Microbes are like really, really small animals that are too small to see with our eyes.
When these microbes grow on bronze, they can make the metal weaker and can even break it. If you don't stop the bronze disease, it can make the bronze object completely ruined and useless. But don't worry, there's a way to fix it!
To fix bronze disease, you have to take the sick bronze object and put it in a special solution that's like a kind of medicine for the bronze. The solution is made up of different chemicals that can kill the microbes and stop them from growing. The solution is also really careful because it can't hurt the bronze, but it can only hurt the microbes.
After the sick bronze object has been in the solution for a while, it will be all healthy again, and the little green or blue spots will be gone. Hooray! The bronze object can now be happy and strong again.
