Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 We have become a nation of silly, unsubstantial people concerned with silly, unsubstantial matters. TEXAS PULLS THE PLUG ON FISH PEDICURES By DAN X. McGRAW / The Dallas Morning News If you were hoping to jump on the nibbling fish pedicure bandwagon, it might have just passed you by. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation announced today that fish pedicures -- in which customers pay to have small fish nibble the dead skin off their feet -- are no longer permitted in the state. Spokeswoman Susan Stanford said the licensing agency has health and safety concerns related to the practice of using the same fish to clean the skin of multiple customers. The worry is that the practice could transmit infections. She also said the foot baths and holding tanks, because they're home to live fish, cannot always be properly cleaned and disinfected. Ms. Stanford added, however, that she knew of no cases of anyone getting sick from a fish pedicure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
