the my dear bit was sarcasm by the way !
i am struggling a little to understand why you had such a knee jerk reaction to my response as i have said throughout this is about informed choice, iam mearly putting the other side across so i will not "turn it off"
and exactly this has to the world being flat, you lost me on that one0 -
My sister is a Beauty Therapist and her team have had warnings about cross infections through fish pedicures, and have been advised to talk anyone they meet who discusses it out of having it done. She also had a friend who had it done and blood somehow was drawn (I don't know any more details than that I'm afraid). I just really hope the water was changed after that!
I understand that it may be a natural process for the fish themselves, but you wouldn't get a regular pedicure without the equipment being cleaned specifically for you first. I think it's simply the sharing element of it which causes concern for some.
Personally I'd rather pay for someone to give my poor hoofs a nice massage!Make £2019 in 2019 No 153 - £4517.17/£20190 -
