Fish foot massage

[Minstrel]

DH and I were in town today and set up in the middle of the precinct was several deep tanks of fish. People were PAYING MONEY to sit and relax with their feet in the tanks and this particular type liked to rub itself against your feet. YUK! Apparently this is supposed to be theraputic!

Would you have a fish foot massage?

I'm in the 'No way, Jose' camp!

[LOOPYLISA]

Im looking into it yes

[mufftie]

teres one of these in my local shopping centre and it seems very popular , not for me i dont think

[Louise0208]

doctor fish....there amazing!

i have a marine tank & where i get my stock from sells these fish, they are great for dry skin as they nibble it off without damaging your healthy skin, we tried it out with 1 finger & the difference was amazing

I did this when on hols in Thailand,my feet looked new again ,strange feeling ,but lovely.

is it expensive?

my heels are well manky the only time they look good is walking around for 2 weeks in sand on holiday.....would be nice to have nice feet before i go for once!

same here - I grew up in a seaside town and was barefoot on the beach all the time - never had the problem then!

would love to have it done but not sure if I could bear the tickles

[miffy]

Not sure about this for me but everyone I've spoken to who's been says it's fantastic and you come out feeling like you're walking on air.

They had some on a celebrity come dine with me and Julie Goodyear reckoned they nipped, not sure I'd want the pain!

we saw this when we were in york the other week! the shop was heaving, but whether that was people actually having it done, or people watching i don't know !!

i think i might try it, but not sure !!!!

feel sorry for all the little fishies though!

[sarah707]

They have a big shop in the Trafford Centre and there's always a queue.

I'm not sure whether I'd cope though

[Minstrel]

I would freak out!

Def not for me.

I saw it on come dine with me once

this is weird cos someone on my facebook {close friend} mentioned it on her status so i had to read about it and it does look good...my feet are really hard so wouldnt mind a go.

[Gizmo]

I have really really tickly feet so would hate it, have read a few threads on fb about it and have never read about the water being changed yuck yuck yuck

[The Juggler]

see now I was looking into it for me and a friend for our birthdays. then... my friend who is a nurse said, what if someone before you has a food infection and the fish nibble them, then you? do they change the water each time? (DON'T THINK THEY DO?) think she's put me off

[desiderata]

I have had one and I loved it. They dont bite well mine didnt but I too have a lot of hard skin and she said it would take a few sessions to get rid of all of it. I was not in a shopping centre tho just in a private room the fish just swim about and then have a little nibble on the skin now and again. I will go again definatelyx

looked up my local place - water is filtered 10 times an hour and use UV light or something?

[Louise0208]

the UV sterilizes the water to kill all bacteria (iv had to use one on my reef tank when nemo had the lergy )

Here's a picture of my feet with the fish, it was a funny experience but I would do it again.
My feet were so soft after.
