fish "eating" your feet?

What do you think of this treatment?
Aren't the fish going to blow up after munching on 3-4 sets of feet?

big thing in cambridge ... they have these set up in large shopping centres

not cheap though ... think it's a pound a minute, and they have stopwatches to time you

there are always queues waiting to try

Mira.... if your feet are mingy with loads of dry chapped skin, take a holiday to to africa where they most likey use large barbel/catfish ... the pound/rand exchange rate is favourable, so it will be a lot cheaper than here in the UK

 

I've had that done! It's kind of weird but your feet do feel quite nice afterwards. Kind of tingly and refreshed.

 

Wonder if it could be done using other kinds of fish?
Sole perhaps, or Eel?

 

Or Bacaruda?

 

Piranhas.........

 

Having seen quite a lot of feet of these plump (to put it gently) African ladies, they must need at least a couple of catfish for each foot...:D

 

You know, I think I was involved in building the set up in the picture.

If not we made one very similar in our workshop last year, same tank set up and seating, it was for somewhere in London but dont take much notice most of the time where the things are going.

We have them locally now, but not my kind of thing I dont think.:D

 

Yeah, me too. Got a Groupon voucher for £9, certainly wouldn't have paid full price.

I hated it, as soon as my feet went in I wanted to whip them out again as these horrible little fish started clustering around them.

However, I couldn't possibly waste the £9 so I left them in. Didn't make the slightest bit of difference to the state of my feet. Still, you live and learn!

The shop we have here costs 10 quid for 15 mins which I think is quite reasonable. My mistake, I think, was doing it before I went shopping. If I had done it afterwards I think I would have felt the benefits longer. I would definitely do it again though!

 

Hmm... see I was thinking of getting this done as (not going into great detail, but say it's not pretty to look at:WINK1 I probably have Palmar Plantar Psoriasis and was thinking that this might help

 

Surelly it would help. Here is just an example of a treatment centre...
