What are the health risks of fish pedicures?
According to research, fish pedicures are linked to certain medical conditions, such as:
Bleeding
Garra rufa fish are toothless, so they don’t usually cause bleeding. They are expensive and difficult to get. For this reason, most pedicurists usually get their fish from other parts of the world, like East Asia. The Cyprinion macrostomus [2], also known as chin chin fish, looks a lot like the Garra rufa fish. These fish also clears dessicated skin on the feet. However, unlike the Garra rufa, it has teeth and can cause bleeding or breaking of the skin.
