This week in stupid...A Washington D.C. area day spa is offering a fish pedicure. The gullible dunk their feet into a warm tank of water and allow tiny carp to nibble away the dead skin.
Sure, that makes sense.
How come the day spa I went to didn't have this on the menu? Bunch of crap.
One wonders of this will catch on and there will be a Piranha Hair Cut offered soon at the local Fantastic Sam's. Dip your locks in calf's blood, dunk your head in the piranha tank and let those little artists create magic. They're like fishy Edward Scissorhands'.
Holy Carp! My husband asked me if I've ever had a fish pedicure this morning and I thought he was nuts. Guess he's been peeking at my favorite site, YBNBY!
He's not nuts, Karen. Just an astute reader. Apparently.

I'd do it.
To clean up those cuticles they use piranha.
These 'doctor' fish are only new to the states. There are a few places world wide that do this - but the most popular place is in Turkey - near Kangal. It is a psoriasis treatment spa and they also treat ezcema(sp?). I think I would freak if they were nibbling almost everywhere! They say it works! Here is a link with more info.
