Fish Spa, Anyone?

[confusion]

So, I like fish as much as the next guy, but I don't think I would sign up for this:

It's incredibly creepy. Basically, the fish are exfoliating your skin by nibbling little bits of it off. The high water temp (43C) probably makes them ravenously hungry, and hence willing to go nibble on something as big as a human.

I think that would feel quite weird.

I heard somewhere that this is one of the only effective treatments for psoriasis.....

Couldn't say if thats true or even medically sound but either way, i found it quite interesting.

I remember seeing that on the news 9 years ago and thinking how ingenious that technique of getting rid of dead skin was.

I have read about this too, although for the life of me I don't remember where.
All I have to say is GROSS!!!!

My better half is an eczema sufferer, she has had it so bad that she has been hospitalized on several occasions for it. I know she has said a lot of the problem is when an affected area is enflamed and the skin is broken, then temptation is to get rid of the dead skin, which generally causes slight tearing and pulling of the live skin, which in turn causes mild to major pain and itchiness, which in turn leads to the feeling of having to scratch so hard until the skin is broken, so I can imagine that having the dead skin nibbled away could stop this circle of pain from happening. I doubt she would ever go for this sort of thing though. I would have a crack for a laugh.
