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 ;)

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.

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.

Of course mate, we can get a seperate tank for you and all the other busy peeps :D

 

While your at it can you please delete posts #40, #41 and #42 Please as they are unwanted drivel. Thank you mate ;)

 

Seperate tanks are fine. One for me and one for the plebs :D

 

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.
