The Latest exhibition in MIlton Keynes features a Health Spa that helps you remove dead unwanted skin from your feet by letting baby piranha fish chew away at your toes. For only £10 you can sit and watch the little fishes munch away at your bunions and corns.

Even little children where having ago, where was Health and Safety.

I did ask if any other part of the body could be put in the water but they said only your feet sir.

The mind boggles

Standard in SE Asia in EVERY shopping mall, they eat the dead skin off your feet. Give me a min I'll get some pics.........

Crap pics but you get the idea, I'm ticklish as fk on my feet so noooooooo way for me.

great pictures

At my local swimming baths there are always a few tiddlers in the water.

Any idea if it's still on in MK Crow?  Quite fancy having a go at this for some reason.

They've got one of these stores at the bottom of my road, might have a go actually as my feet are rank.

Interesting facts, also at the bottom of my road is the pub where some of David Blunketts top secret files were found and in the bottom of my road in the other direction they filmed some of the new Chris Morris film 'Four Lions'

that's a pretty cool road you live on.  mine has a Sainsbury's though.

Went to a sealife center a while ago and they had shrimp that did the same thing. Could put your hands in and they'd come over for a nibble.

There is one in the ridings shopping centre in Wakefield!

Anyone know of one in Notts? I'd love this...i think

I saw someone eating fish fingers in Notts

Have a look here for more "technical" details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_fish

This is one of the company that has places springing up all over: http://appyfeet.co.uk/

That makes more sense.  Baby piranhas didn't sound quite right at all...

baby piranha's,, lol

yes lol - what a ridic suggestion dan! ;)

Send Ding a PM - it's at her Clinic.

Name the lady in the centre of that photo.

Sigh - no we were looking at bringing it in but we made an executive decision today not to for many reasons including the question "Who looks after the fish during the holidays.... The school hamster died when it was my turn to take it home so I'm not keen to look after a few hundred fish tbh!

These are springing up all over the place, the actual procedure is just a bit ticklish and the main area for concern is ensuring that the water is filtered well enough that you will not catch anything from the person that was in the water before you. The places I have seen have been exceptionally clean and the water filtering has been in excess of what is required from a health and safety point of view.

I had my feet done at the MK one last week and they felt great afterwards.

The fish do this naturally in the wild, with the locals dipping their feet in the river and having them cleaned by the fish but there the fish also feed on vegitation so they get all their vitamins and minerals. In spas they need to have mins and vits added to the water to ensure they stay healthy.

I loved it and if I had any time I would open one up in MK shopping centre.There is one in Meadowhall Sheffield, Kent and another opening up in Cambridge on the 10th of October that I know are good ones.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought Boshi's fetish had been exposed.

How is this not a level wtf. sickness

I would fancy having a go at this, i see one is opening up in Glasgow soon, so will need to be on the lookout for that.

Went to Milton Keynes again today, but sadly they had all gone away.

Must have been a weekend only show

I did however see an escalator being serviced, lol ( See Its Broken Thread )

Good News Feet Eating Fish are coming to MIlton Keynes

They are advertising for staff who have experience in Fish Eating Feet, lol

yeehah!! I willbe the first to book in ;-)

one has just opened in Leeds but the Q was a mile long so just walked past.

There's one in the Trafford Centre. I was tempted to have a go but was with my mother at the time and thought getting fish feet therapy with my mother might be a bit weird.

have you seen any other company doing this?

I have only found appy feet
and a couple of smaller ones

info on prices will be amazing

There's loads in london. Saw them in selfridges yesterday, they looked hungry

sigh ones opened in lincoln
was gonna open one but no point now

had a half hour fish pedicure today. a truly strange experience but I now have really smooth feet. one fat fish was getting on my nerves as he kept nibbling me on a really ticklish spot but the others were ok

I sneaked my hand in as well when the woman wasn't looking, that was even stranger cos your fingers are much more sensitive

norrrrr - can't believe you went without me.  sulking.

To be fair, you went dress and shoe shopping without him.  Reckon he's devastated, poor guy.

still sulking.

I actually would've called you claire cos I know you want to go but we had vouchers that had to be used by today, bought a while back and didn't have any spare. will let you know if I go again

I've been to the Happy Feet at meadowhall in sheffield

The novelty value was worth the tenner but I didn't notice that it actually did much. Then again I don't have manky feet so I don't think it was ever going to

sigh.  mega rubz.

I've got psoriasis, and I had read/heard the fish are amazing for my condition.

Went to the one in York, place absolutely stunk, totally disgusting smell.

And the fish did nothing to improve my skin.

Very disappointing.

Thought if you had manky skin on feet they wouldnt allow you to get treated anyway?

Doctor Fish have been used to treat psoriasis for years, well before non sufferers discovered they were beneficial.

From wikipedia:

Doctor fish is the name given to two species of fish: Garra rufa and Cyprinion macrostomus. Other nicknames include nibble fish, kangal fish, and doctorfishen; in non-medical contexts, Garra rufa is called the reddish log sucker. They live and breed in the outdoor pools of some Turkish spas, where they feed on the skin of patients with psoriasis. The fish are like combfishes in that they only consume the affected and dead areas of the skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow, with the outdoor location of the treatment bringing beneficial effects. The spas are not meant as a curative treatment option, only as a temporary alleviation of symptoms, and patients usually revisit the spas every few months. Some patients have experienced complete cure of psoriasis after repeated treatments, but due to the unpredictable nature of the disease, which is strongly influenced by endogenous factors, this may simply be regression toward the mean.

I have no idea how that's a rub but I'll take it. wiiiiiiiiii

keith, why on earth would you get it done in a place that stunk? try again with a decent company

Half thinking of giving Turkey a spin.

Be a nice holiday regardless.

one in Victoria Centre Nott'm went last week, quite an interesting experience...

if you fancy somewhere that's not turkey there're some places in thailand where they live wild in pools near waterfalls

Pffft, no need to walk that far, they have them in all the shopping malls there for a couple of quid.

do they let you do your whole body?

No, its only a small normal size fish tank so you wouldn't be able to fit in anyway.

Lad who i play poker with just gone out to Magaluf to set one of these up on the beach. I reckon he will make a fortune.

4 in lincoln now pretty redic
