I never heard of a tire repair shop having a problem with the tire "Slime" and as far as dangerous it is not the "Slime" that is dangerous it is the fix a flat stuff in the aresol cans that is dangerous, it has propane as the pressure propellant in it and that is the stuff you need to tell your tire repair guy about as , duh, it is highly flammable.

Just wash the tire out with water before patching. I've never tried a dish soap and water wash, but that might be even better. Wash the rim off before replacing the tire. You'll have to replace the slime.
Slime won't fix all flats, but it will take care of all the little sticker holes from plants like greasewood and other spiny desert plants. Tires collect those in abundance. Slime does go bad after about 5 years, so it's best to replace it in about that time frame.

Slime also helps get a few mor miles out of your tires when they start weather checking and getting weak. Thats where im at with mine right now.
