Fishy Pedicure?

Published by danaprince at 12:29 pm under Health News Edit This

The latest trend in smooth-as-a-baby’s-bottom tootsies is a pedicure where you put your feet in a tank and let little flesh-nibbling fishies eat the dead skin off your feet.

The prospect sounds gross and what are the health concerns? I would wonder this:
-How often is the water being changed?
-Are people told not to do this if they have open sores on their feet?
-Is it tolerable or would it be far too ticklish?

I’m not sure I could manage but then again I can’t stand my feet being touched. Seems to be a huge craze that’ll undoubtedly spread like wildfire. Would you try it? The garra rufa fish at http://www.yvonnesalon.com/ are the hungry cosmeticians. I wonder if they thought to negotiate profit sharing…
