A fish pedicure , also known as a fish spa, involves dipping ones feet in a tub of water filled with small gish referred to as "doctor fish" because they eat away dead skin found on peoples feet, leaving newer skin exposed. I have experienced it last April with my kids. At first we were laughing out loud because it tickles so much and we can contain our feelings.

Although this has been a popular trend, many had their reservations and declined treatment after they were informed of the negative effects it brings.
