Let fish chew on your feet?
« on: August 07, 2008, 06:38:22 PM »

Newest thing in pedicures, let a fish (tiny carp) eat the dead skin off your feet for $50 for a 30 minute treatment. ($35 for 15 minutes)  Apparently, as many as 5,000 people have had their feet cleaned by these fish so far.  :O

Nuts, a bucket of minnows will cost less than that at the live bait store.

I can do that at one of the local lakes for free. And the Blue Gill would do a better job too.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Yes actually they will  :)

Ok worst case scenario a 3$ pail of minnows might take twice as long to do the same job.

I'd go with hanging them off the dock in a pond myself. Bluegills and other small fish come quick if you don't move.

Sitting on the dock taking in some rays  0$
Having small fish nibble the dead skin off your toes 0$
Getting back in touch with yourself and nature, Priceless.

The whole disturbing part about the carp is this:  Do they get tossed back into a lake somewhere for us to catch & eat?

I don't necessarily want to know what those fish (any fish) were eating before they were on my plate.

Carp like catfish are bottom feeders. You really have no idea what they eat do you?

No, and no.  There are just some things that should not be disclosed.  The diet of the fish you eat is one of them.

If they got tossed back into a lake somewhere most would end up as food for other fish anyways.

Since these fish are imports & live in hot water not much chance of them Surviving in local waters. We will have to call Peta & the Labour relations board though because I am sure they will just work these fish to death.
