What are bad cells?

Bad cells are like sneaky troublemakers inside your body that don’t do their job right.

Imagine your body is a big, busy city, and every cell is like a worker in that city. Some workers clean up messes, some build things, and others help you think or move. But sometimes, a few workers decide to be lazy or start causing problems, those are the bad cells.

• They might not follow the rules. Like when a worker in the city forgets to show up for work or does the wrong job.
• They can cause trouble. If enough of them mess things up, they might make you feel sick or tired, like when your city has too many broken roads and traffic jams.

Sometimes, bad cells even team up with other workers who are also being sneaky. That’s when bigger problems happen, like getting a cold or having a boo-boo that takes longer to heal.

But don’t worry, just like you can fix a broken road, your body has ways to catch the troublemakers and make everything better again!
