Slimey deli meat is caused by bacteria, don't eat it.
A few months ago I asked a coworker (who is east indian and doesn't eat any meat) What she thought of the smell of the bacon cooking, She said it was nauseating. I was kind of surprised.
Sometimes I think bacon smells like fish, salmon to be specific. Usually love it, but can't eat it if it's fishy.

I can not believe it would get slimey like overnight! Argh! Throw out time! I ve got a mind to order from the deli to cut off a chuck and bag it up for me and I have my own slicer. I hate to ask, what kind of bacteria am I dealing with?
Some ham is just wet, slicing it cuts into the cells and release the juices. That is different then slimy. Slimy can be caused by Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Botulism among other things. If it is going slimy overnight I'd be wondering how old it is, at the deli. Shouldn't be going slimy that quickly.
