Poll: pedicures and their fans on the fo' Would you do this if it were available in your neck of the woods? State outlaws fish pedicures: There's a video too.

I would do it! I don't think it hurts the fish in any way, tho I don't understand how they chew off the dead skin if they are toothless. I think Tweety Bui might be overreacting a bit.

I saw that on the news and no way would I do that to the fish.

I prefer to have a lover nibble my toes that is why I keep them well groomed and have regular, sanitary pedicures.

gross! no! for the reason stated in the article. who knows what manner of germs and other skank the fish could ingest off someone else and transmit to me. you can't sanitize a freaking fish.

have there been instances of people contracting fish-borne illnesses? I know people have gotten flesh-eating bacteria from normal manicures and pedicures but fish-specific ones? I have not heard.

better safe than sorry i doubt there have been any studies, but common sense says it's safer not to share instruments (or fish) without sanitizing between customers.

I just wonder how many zoonotic diseases there are which are transmittable human to carp and then, more importantly, carp to human.

they're available in other parts of the country if you try it, i'd love to hear your report of the experience. besides the fact that it's gross, i'd be surprised if little fish did as good a job as other exfoliation tools.

they were actually originally intended for use on eczema and psoriasis patients, with great results. I would love to try it. $x for a Dr Fish pedicure is cheaper than a normal pedicure. I will report back if I get

It is cheaper because the Carp don't do french tips.

yea, those fish tips just aren't the same...

Ding, ding, ding. ;-)

cheaper? depends where you are. I used to get regular pedicures in northern NJ for $x.

over in canuckland, there are places that will do nail/ped for $x well, some that I've been to.

they would have to be some freaking amazing fish

weird. i think it would tickle. but i have rather ticklish feets. there, i said it.

If I did pedicures, I might try it... but I put a lot of mileage on my tootsies, and they only get the occasional pampering (oy! My sister likes to get us joint pedicures for the holidays, and then I watch that poor, neglected nail polish slowly wear off for the next month or so...Sorry, that may be TMI, but I'm not a foot person). There seem to be so many theraputic/symbiotic treatments out there that are certainly gross-out-able, but if I needed them, I'd try them...bee sting tx for MS and diabetes - the last time I was stung by a bee (although I screamed like a star in a teen horror flick), I felt endorphins for days, maggot treatments (I've seen that work in pets), leeches...there's lots more. Although I draw the line at bloodletting.

I don't think I'd pay for Sanitary issues aside, what if you got there after a busy day and the fish weren't hungry any more? But at my family's cabin, there are baby fish that live by our dock and they like to nibble on people, which feels really cool, so I bet that pedicure would feel pretty awesome.

I would do it but regular pedicures creep me out.

Only in the open ocean.

the problem with that. the bigger fish with teeth may come and bite your foot off trying to get the little fish....
