Haven't you guys ever had minnows nibble on you while swimming in fresh water?

All I'm gonna say is, the Asian culture (IN GENERAL) does very "inventive" things with food.

well, I'm glad your finger isn't deformed!

When I started reading this thread I was wondering about contamination from the fish. Then I read PY's post and just EWWWW! No way, ever! I've been swimming in a quarry where the fish nibble on you while you swim and THAT creeped me out bad enough. I can't imagine voluntarily putting my feet through that! uck!

Fish Pedicures banned
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - October 9, 2008 -- Texas state health officials feel there's something fishy -- about fish pedicures.
Using lots of little fish to nibble bits of dead skin off people's feet is the hot thing in the spa world. But health experts are concerned the fishies have the potential to spread infections. However, officials note they know of no actual cases of fish pedicures causing health problems.
The Zen Luxury Nail & Beauty Bar in a Dallas suburb bought $2,500 worth of the fish. The co-owner tells The Dallas Morning News she's not sure what they're going to do with the 500 guppy-like creatures, now that fish pedicures are banned.
