In classic slime formulations, sodium borate (Borax) or sodium tetraborate is used. When dissolved in water, sodium borate dissociates into sodium ions and borate ions. If a polymer is present like PVA, the borate ions interact with the polymer chains and form weak ionic bonds that make the solution thicker.
It's probably because of a bad experience with eating or cooking okra. It's the slime! Okra is notorious for producing slime -- the plant and its fruit contain mucilage, which is the same thing you'll find in aloe vera plants. When you apply heat, the slime just comes out more. But there actually are a few techniques for reducing all that sliminess, that is if you're willing to give it a try.
