Homemade “slime” is currently a popular childhood hobby that can cause allergic and irritant contact dermatitis. We describe a case of hand dermatitis due to homemade “slime” with a positive patch test to methylchloroisothiazolinone ( MCI )/methylisothiazolinone ( MI ) and MI . The most common potential allergens in “slime” collected from a review of “slime” recipes found on the Internet are reviewed.
