A favorite snack for fish — your feet

I love a good pedicure. Not certain I’d love one whether it involved flesh-eating fish devouring my dry skin and callouses. Hey, I guess fish need to eat too — which is precisely what they are doing is some spas and salons. Ouch.

People are swimming to one salon in Alexandria, Virginia — the only U.S. salon featuring the feasting fish from Turkey — and as one reporter notes in this video after giving it a try, it’s not all that poor. It’s amazing, actually. As for her feet: they are so soft even her husband noticed.

Here’s how it all works: First, you wash your feet. soon after, you step into a tub of water, have a seat, and allow the fish to nibble for about 15 minutes. Don’t distress, they’re only drawn to dead, unhealthy skin areas and won’t attack your healthy

skin, allegedly. And by all accounts, the whole process is safe. The fish are safe, the water is safe — it’s changed after each use — and your bank explanation won’t suffer too badly either. The cost of that fishy experience starts at $35.

Sound strange? Does to me. Would you give it a try? Don’t think I would.
