Body cells are made of atoms and if ionising radiation occurs, your cells would lose electrons and this could cause mutations etc

How can ionisation damage living cells?

ionising radiation can break molecules into ions. these ions take part in other chemical reactions in the body cells. for example these ionization can break the bonds in the DNA bases and cause mutations. or can interrupt with the processes like respiration that provides cell with energy. ionisation can also produce radicals that take part in other chemical reactions in the body like electric impulses from the brain and can damage the nervous system. hope that helps !)
