Xenobiotic

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard about things that are harmful to your body? Like medicine, chemicals or drugs? Well, those things are called xenobiotics.

Xenobiotics are just like strangers that enter your body and can cause harm. They come from different sources like the environment, food or even the air we breathe. Our body has natural ways to protect ourselves from them but sometimes, they can be too much for our body to handle.

Think of it like a superhero team – your body has a special team that fights off the bad guys (such as germs) all the time to keep you healthy. But sometimes villains come that they haven't seen before (xenobiotics), and they have to work extra hard to protect you.

Some xenobiotics can be helpful, like medicine that can fight off a sickness. But some others can be very harmful if they aren't handled carefully. For example, if you touch a poisonous plant, it can harm your skin or make you very sick if you eat it.

That's why it's important to be careful about what you touch or put in your body, and to always talk to a grown-up or a doctor if you're not sure whether something is safe or not.
