In Virginia, spa customers pay to have fish eat their feet. For real. Photo courtesy of the kind folks at cuteoverload.com.


At a spa in Virginia, customers pay $35 to get their feet nibbled on by tiny carp.

As in, fish. As in, fish eat the dead skin off your feet until they're silky smooth. Seriously?

Read the article on msnbc.com here.

Even if it works, what's wrong with a good ol' fashioned pumice stone?

And what about those poor fish? Do they seriously like to eat callouses from human feet or are they just so desperately hungry they'll eat anything?

This is just wrong on so many levels.

And it terrifies me. I'm kind of scared of fish nibbling me. That's why I either a) constantly move my feet or b) wear watersocks when I go swimming in a lake.

So the idea of paying to get my feet bitten by fish just doesn't appeal.

Would you guys do it?

and who is monitoring the fish to make sure they don't nibble off more than you want? Say, a toe?
Apparently, they only eat *dead* skin. So unless you're toe's dead...
I'd let a fish nibble on my nubs any day.
i might...just because i'm adventurous. the instant it got creepy or uncomfortable i'd be out of there. sidenote: i saw it on the "i survived a japanese game show" show. lame, i know.
