A woman in her 20s reportedly lost all of her toenails after allegedly getting a so-called fish pedicure, a treatment touted by many as rejuvenating for a persons feet.
The toothless carp fish which are plant eaters voraciously feast on dead human skin.
The womans toenails will likely return, but it will take a long time as nails only grow about one millimeter a month on average, Lipner said.

You can scratch your feet without having to bend forward.
And in the night, when you have a minor itch and do not want to move much.
Beauty has a price.
Just think about all the filthy feet before you

Maybe better not overthink the process?
And everyone knows what W.C. Fields said about water.
“A woman in her 20s reportedly lost all of her toenails”
What did it feel like?
I saw this once on Gene Simmons Family Jewels tv show. It was weird.
My cousin’s wife did this “pedicure” in Italy. She is close to losing her leg. Has been over in U.S. for treatment but nothing is working.
Dick Morris?
What is the problem? Infection? Diabetes? Lack of circulation?
If only you had known about the toenail minnows, you could have saved you or your insurance company $$$$$......LOL!
Kind of like having the old-fashioned astroturf vibrating against your feet.
It is a little ticklish but once you relax it fells pretty good.
Apparently infection, but antibiotics aren’t effective. No diabetes.
As I understand it, when she went in she had a small break in her skin — so small she didn’t see it. While in the footbath, she looked down and the water was all red from blood where the fish were attacking.
I am not sure how things stand now. Will have to check. She updates on FB, but I don’t to FB.
I thought everyone knew this practice was a bad idea years ago.
Tip - use sandpaper on your little dremel tool to remove dead skin from your heels.

Yes, but when does she now shed her new gills?
I just use my hand-held electric sander/120 grit.
Don’t try it if you have ticklish feet. I let my wife talk me into it at an amusement park a few years back and it was unintentionally utterly hilarious. I lasted maybe 10 seconds, max.
Uh oh do I want to know? haha. I was a BIT appalled taking some abnormal psych or maybe Human Sexuality and the teacher used to bring oin all these folks with odd psych disorders....no foot fetishes tho
