    I've tried fish pedicure and it's sooooo cool. I was laughing all the time while looking at all those fish "eating" my feet. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to buy 5 for all my friends :D

    It's is fast becoming the biggest fad of the year!! I've never tried it but know loads of people who have and say it's great. Personally the thought of fish round my feet makes me cringe!!

    I've just looked at the Zoola site, and all four London locations say the voucher isn't accepted at 'this site' :(
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    i thought about having a try with this when it was a groupon deal recently, but having googled it, there are concerns about the hygiene of having fish eating your skin which have previously eaten the skin from other people, as there is a risk of catching things like fungal infections for example... so i didn't do it as that actually made it seem a bit gross!

    There are some health concerns about these unlicensed operations. Banned in 11 US states!!

    I think it means it doesn't work to book online. They say "You will receive an eVoucher valid for one person to print out and take with you to the venue. Strictly walk-in service only."

    The states are notoriously risk averse.
    The BBC article says there aren't any known cases in the UK and mentions open wounds.
    Well it's pretty obvious I would have thought that if you had open wounds there may be a risk, but otherwise I think it's a bit of an over-reaction and I wouldn't have a problem with it.

    Funnily enough i said to my other half the same thing that surely you might be able to catch something from other people,then i read that report recently about it being banned in some US states,i wouldn't have it done,the thought of putting my feet in where others have had their potentially scabby feet would put me right off lol
