The 'ghostly slime' toy sold well in front of the school gate contains many dangerous chemicals, but students buy their own materials to process this toy as it is dangerous because they do not know the reaction of chemicals together ', Quoc said.

PTA, a seventh grade student of a junior high school in Ward 1, My Tho City, said: 'Before, you and I used to buy' rafters' of street vendors in front of the school gate, the price from 20,000 - 50,000 VND / bag. But then we got rash, itchy, so we didn't buy the hawkers anymore. You and some of you go online to find out, then buy your own powder, glue, water colors, toothpaste . to make 'ghost slime' to play, feel safer, so this friend instructs you self-made '.

Vo Quoc, a senior man trading chemicals, warned: 'soap' floating dangerously! According to Quoc, before the incident of many students in Go Cong Tay was poisoned, allergic to 'ghost slime' , there was information that many local children were poisoned with this kind of toy. . Quoc said, 'rafters' have good elasticity and elasticity of rubber but are as soft as water, so children are very interested when used to shape and shape objects as desired.

If 'soap' is made of natural substances such as food powder, paste, toothpaste, food color . then it is safe. For reputable children's toy manufacturers, they use standard chemicals, on toy boxes that specify the origin, clear composition, so they are not toxic, but this type The price is quite high, over 100,000 VND / box.

But ' soap' because people who buy and sell street food in front of the school gate sell it largely because they are self-made from their own experience or instruct each other to make it, which is very cheap, so it attracts many students. However, the dangerous thing is that people who make 'homemade rafters' peddling due to avarice, lack of knowledge about chemicals, so they often use unknown chemicals and many toxicity beyond safety, leads to the situation of users with allergies and poisoning.

'Litchi' because the street vendors sell at the gate of the school are mostly made by themselves.

'Most of the self-made' pedophile 'cyclists often use the chemical Boron or its compound Borax in very high doses, because it creates more adhesion. It is this substance that makes children use vomit, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramps. In addition, all kinds of color products of unknown origin and many other chemicals mixed into this toy can cause the risk of burns of hands, allergies, rashes . for users. It is worth noting that the semi-floating 'soap' with the brighter color is more powerful, ' Quoc said.

He added that there are now types of 'soaps' made of sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate (also known as baking soda), with sprinkles. This type of toy is very dangerous for children because baking soda is highly alkaline, has abrasive properties, skin corrosion, itching and skin inflammation. Whereas tinsel can cause liver and kidney damage, it is easy to infect the mouth, nose, and respiratory tract when children rub their eyes, putting their hands on their mouths and nose.

1 Pediatrician in My Tho made a recommendation: colorful plastic children's toys used to mold and shape are full of chemicals. So after having children play 'ghost slime' , parents must force them to wash their hands before eating. If children play with 'soap ' and forget to wash their hands, the risk of poisoning caused by chemicals in this toy is inevitable.
