What are chronic overdoses?

Chronic overdoses are like when your favorite snack becomes too good, and you keep eating it even when you're full.

Imagine you have a bag of candy that tastes amazing. You eat one piece, then another, and before you know it, you've eaten the whole bag. That's an overdose, too much of something at once. But if you do this every day, or almost every day, your body gets used to it, and it becomes a chronic overdose.

Think of your body like a toy that can only handle so much candy before it starts to feel sick. If you eat too much candy all the time, your toy doesn’t get to rest, it’s always busy dealing with extra sugar. Over time, this might make your toy (your body) feel tired or even a little grumpy.

Chronic overdoses can happen with things like medicine, food, or even drinks. It's like when you have a really fun game, and you play it nonstop, eventually, the fun becomes more of a challenge than a joy!
