    Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is the most common chemical threat that organisms face. Here, we show that H 2 O 2 alters the bacterial food preference of Caenorhabditis elegans , enabling the nematodes to find a safe environment with food. H 2 O 2 induces the nematodes to leave food patches of laboratory and microbiome bacteria when those bacterial communities have insufficient H 2 O 2 -degrading capacity. The nematode’s behavior is directed by H 2 O 2 -sensing neurons that promote escape from H 2 O 2 and by bacteria-sensing neurons that promote attraction to bacteria. However, the input for H 2 O 2 -sensing neurons is removed by bacterial H 2 O 2 -degrading enzymes and the bacteria-sensing neurons’ perception of bacteria is prevented by H 2 O 2 . The resulting cross-attenuation provides a general mechanism that ensures the nematode’s behavior is faithful to the lethal threat of hydrogen peroxide, increasing the nematode’s chances of finding a niche that provides both food and protection from hydrogen peroxide.
