Harmful chemicals in children’s products were one of the agenda topics at the world dermatology congress held in Milan, Italy on 10-15 June 2019. I would like to talk about the ‘Slime’ item, which is released for our children, which is frequently found and sold in stationery and toy shops this week. If you want, you can easily reach Slime items from stationery stores so that they can be made even at home.
Sodium Borota, which is the main ingredient of slime dough, can cause allergies, skin rashes and skin problems, especially in children. Excessive exposure to this Boron substance can cause burns on the skin, eczema, vomiting and even adverse effects on reproduction. For this reason, we, as parents, need to be more attentive and careful when buying toys for our children. When you encounter skin rashes in your child, take the advice of your specialist dermatologist and review the toys at home.
