THE mum of a little girl who was left in a wheelchair after playing with slime says they feel like prisoners in their own home.
M'Layah Chapman suffered a severe eczema flare-up after using a store-bought slime last summer.
The nine-year-old, from Fallowfield, was playing with the sticky sensory toy with a friend when small spots started appearing on her skin.
The strange spots turned into bumps and later into blisters which would seep and become infected.
Alarmed by her daughter's deteriorating condition, M'Layah's mum Katherine decided to take her to a GP.
Her infection skin eventually became so severe M'Layah ended up in a wheelchair and spent time on a hospital ward.
And although the youngster had suffered from eczema since she was a baby, the skin condition worsened drastically after playing with the popular gooey substance.
Sadly, following various treatments and creams, M'Layah continues to struggle with her extreme flare-up the pain impacting every aspect of her daily life.
"Since she played with the slime, everything has been bad," mum Katherine, 43, told the Manchester Evening News.
"Her body got infected and her eczema flared up to the point where she couldn't walk.
