Sliming is the process of a character turning into green slime as the result of either the slime's attack, using a biting or engulfing attack against them, or attempting to eat its corpse. It is a slow process - you will have nine turns to take action against it if it is induced by the slime's attack or biting attack or consuming the corpse and four turns if by means of engulfing a green slime.

Resistance to this is granted by the amulet of unchanging or by polymorphing into a green slime or a fiery monster.

Once started the process can be stopped by either meeting one of the conditions above or by burning away the slime (either by being hit by a fire-based attack, such as zapping oneself with a wand of fire or reading a scroll of fire, or by polymorphing into a fiery monster). Casting cure sickness causes the slime to disappear. Prayer is also effective at removing slime, and an amulet of life saving will save you from the end result.
