Ok, this idea is just a little too much. A spa in Virginia is offering to let you put your feet in a tub of warm water and have little fish swarm over your feet to start your pedicure. The catch? The fish nibble off and eat dead skin from your feet. No more calluses for me! Where do I sign up?
Customers have reported the procedure feels like your feet are asleep or a little ticklish. State officials forced the spa to stop using a big shallow pool where multiple customers would plunge their feet into the fish and now the spa only uses individual tanks. Officially, this was a health type issue but I think its probably because people with less dead skin on their feet were feeling like the unpopular kid in high school as the fish ignored them and went after the “cool” kids with all the extra dead skin.
They say the fish are toothless so I’m assuming no one has had a foot gnawed off yet. The big question is when are they going to start offering zit sucking leech treatments?
If you’re interested, the Spa can be found here and a story on the procedure here.
