I've seen this on a tele programme Emma and it made my toes curl!
I don't know which I found most off-putting - fishes nibbling feet or the thought of having something on my feet that fish liked. eewww!

Island toe curling stuff right enough.
My OH thinks its disgusting.

Miniature Turkish carp used for high street pedicures may spread disease28 February 2011


Already banned in 14 US states, fish pedicures have been given a health warning here in the U.K. and the practice is now the subject of a major investigation, the Health Protection Agency says.

Experts are worried that the new and extremely popular form of beauty treatment could spread infection and disease.

The treatment involves customers dunking their feet in tanks teaming with the miniature toothless carp that strip away any dead skin.

But it has been revealed that infection could spread from person to person through open wounds.

Salons say they use UV-lit tanks which are constantly filtered to keep them clear of disease.

But environmental health officers say this isn't enough to prevent health issues from arising.

An agency spokesman said: 'The HPA will examine the most up-to-date evidence of any possible risks associated with fish pedicures.'

I dont fancy it. I'd be thinking about what horrible scabby/cheesy feet they had been munching on before mine lol.

Just read in the paper about possible risks of spreading deseases. some place in the USA have stopped it.


Marion

Can't be great for the fish either:-))
