I thought they'd shut all of them down as they found all sorts of foul things in the water. As a keeper of tropical fish, I know to wash my hands thoroughly after putting my hands in an aquarium. You can catch all sorts. |

"Just sitting at traffic lights next to a beauty parlour . Noticed a pedicure section not seen it in the U K with fish eating your skin anybody tried abroad  "
Seen this in the uk loads and tried it myself a several years back. Wife bought me a spa session which included having the fish nibble at my feet.
Before I say anything else, I should say, I suffer from psoriasis (patches of dry flakey skin) on the soles of my feet so thought it might be worth trying to see if it helped any (it did acctually).
It was a weird sensation. Felt raspy (like gently having a cheese grater rubbed on my feet) but also tickled at the same time.
Not awful.but kinda had that fingernails down chalkboard sensation for me so could only take so much.
But if you have hard or dry skin on your feet, man or woman, give it a go cos it will help.

I had fish nibble my feet in the ocean years ago, when I was stood in the water, admiring the view - it completely freaked me out! (although when I got over the surprise, I did actually quite like it)
