David P Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 £40 an hour to dangle your feet in a fish tank. If that's what floats your boat, you could stock your own tank for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorling Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 What I dont understand though, if the fish are eating dead skin and nature takes its course and you are the twentieth person to use the tank that day, what exactly are you putting your feet in?

L18msy Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Gives me the boak when your walking through the shopping centres and seeing everyone sitting with their manky trotters out. Would rather jam my nads in a door than do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicknackwack Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I strongly advise that no one takes up this practice and the reason is that cross-contamination issues are very prevalent. Garra Ruffa fish / Doctor Fish have been banned in most States in the USA, parts of Europe and some far eastern countries. There is a white paper proposing the banning of this practice in the UK. It is often sold as a 'beauty treatment' and is also offered as a medicinal treatment for various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is well documented that cross-contamination is a major issue Do your research first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 There is no way id be putting my feet in there unless it was clean water and fresh fish for each person.That really is minging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 The UV sterilizes the water that will take out the harmful bacteria and the dead skin will go in to the filter and is removed when you rinse the filter once a day, You are quite simply putting your feet in filtered and UV sterilized water.

Absolute rubbish ! UV sterilization does not get rid of, for example, Hepatitis B. Hope you are well insured against any cross contamination issues.

Hope you are well insured against any cross contamination issues. I dont know you, you have been registered for a less than 2 weeks so please excuse me for taking your insightful knowledge with a very small pinch of salt ... The above quote is direct from the creators of this business. Im sure they know their industry a lot better than you. Plus these treatments have been sucessfully running for many years. Again, this is probably not something for you mate so thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you mate Seperate tanks are fine. One for me and one for the plebs I've removed #42, however I think posts #40/1 seem ok in as much as you've both got your views and have kept it pretty much polite. Perhaps there could be further debate, however the point has probably been made - how accurate he is...I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 haha - yeah true mate - half of the attraction is the visual asperct and that its all a bit "different", and added to that the fact is actually works really well is also a bonus!!
