The Thai spa uses an outrageous form of fish therapy, first developed in Turkey, which leaves customers feeling fresh-footed. Clients soak their stompers in a tank with up to 1500 swimmers, which are said to nibble dead skin on the feet and legs to soften rough and cracked skin.

TEXAS ban on fish pedicures means salon customers can no longer enjoy the pleasure of hundreds of small fish nibbling away the dead skin from their feet. Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation spokeswoman Susan Stanford said the agency was concerned about salons using the same fish to clean the skin of multiple customers, leaving them open to possible infections. She also said the foot baths and holding tanks, because they’re home to live fish, cannot always be properly cleaned and disinfected. Although she admitted she had not heard of anyone becoming ill from a fish pedicure, she said the decision “erred on the side of safety”. The US fad caught on after a Virginia salon began offering the fishy foot treatments. One salon owner still has 500 guppy-like fish she had bought for $2,500. She said: “I guess we will either keep them as pets, or send them back.”
